Residents get help with the law

BEIJING - Jiao Rongshuai is glad she has found her "legal family".

Established on Aug 5 under the guidance of Beijing Justice Bureau, the so-called family is a volunteer team made up of 24,000 members who provide legal advice and assistance to residents.

"I have a sense of belonging now and hope my knowledge can help residents more in the future," said the 25-year-old mediator in Shunyi district, who used to offer legal services for residents by herself.
