A provincially funded service for those who need assistance from a lawyer is called

Welfare
Legal aid
Social Funding
Legal fund of lawyers

The correct answer is: Legal aid

Legal Aid refers to a system in which the government pays for the legal services of those who are unable to afford them. This system is funded by the provincial government. Legal aid provides access to a lawyer for individuals who require defense or counsel in civil, criminal, family, and other types of law matters but cannot afford the legal fees. The aim of establishing Legal Aid is to ensure that every individual, regardless of their economic status, has access to justice. This is in line with the principle that all citizens are equal before the law. It's valuable to note that Legal Aid is not given automatically, and certain eligibility criteria have to be met, such as income thresholds.
