Community program aims to provide faster, better-quality legal services

Authorities are appointing counsels to offer advice and clarify legislation to ensure rapid resolution of problems. Cao Yin reports.

Li Junying arrived at her residential community center in Beijing's Haidian district early on Tuesday morning to ensure she got a front-row seat at a lecture about the law relating to the allocation of family property.

The 56-year-old retired civilian worker for the military occasionally took notes during the 40-minute lecture. Afterward, she asked the keynote speaker, Ren Xuguang, an attorney with the Loyalty and Talent Law Firm in Beijing, for more advice.
