The National Citizens Aid Service, also referred to as NCAS, is a government legal aid agency in the Empire Of Makko Oko under the directive and control of the Ministry Of Justice. Its mission is to provide free legal aid to those in need, which is in line with the Constitution of Makko Oko.
The agency is the only government-funded and sponsored free legal aid available to citizens within the nation. In addition, it's the only guaranteed legal aid that the nation's judiciary can provide, with external legal aid and advice not available to be assigned by the courts.
History
Background
The National Citizens Aid Service was formed under the Ministry Of Justice 2 days after the 5th Revision to the nation's Constitution, which modified Article 19 under Section 4 to grant a constitutional right to free legal aid to any citizen of the Empire Of Makko Oko. The agency is one of the only ones established via the Constitution, and not by statute or by the order of the Emperor. The first Secretary of NCAS was Mattie Overton, who until her appointment was a senior MOJ policy expert.
Legal Aid Programs
Secretary of NCAS
The Secretary of the National Citizens Aid Service is the executive and head of the agency, overseeing the duties and functions carried out by the agency, both constitutionally required and otherwise. Appointed Secretaries are typically people with legal experience, rather as a lawyer, as a prosecutor, or even just working for the government in general. The Secretary, along with all NCAS employees, are considered to be government officials and employees, in addition to MOJ employees specifically.
