Lac Son is a mountainous district in the south of Hoa Binh province, consisting of 24 communes and 1 town with many hamlets and communes in particular difficulty. The whole district has over 15,70,000 people, of which the Muong ethnic group accounts for over 91%. The mountainous terrain and scattered residents limit access to legal information.
In this reality, the mobile legal consultation model has been effective, helping people - especially ethnic minorities - access practical and free legal knowledge right at their place of residence.
Mobile legal consultations are often held right in the yard of the cultural house, the headquarters of the People's Committee of the commune or the village hall. People come to attend not only to hear about the law but also to bring with them questions and concerns in life to be answered directly. The consultation focuses on familiar and practical areas such as: land, marriage - family, policies, social insurance, property disputes, complaints - denunciations...
The highlight of the consultations is the flexibility and closeness to the people. Law enforcement officers use simple, easy-to-understand language, many places even have English translations into Muong language to help people absorb it faster. Many real-life situations are handled on the spot, helping listeners to "assess" the spirit of the law naturally.
In addition to direct consultation, the delegations also distributed free leaflets, legal documents, administrative forms and supported people to write petitions and complete documents if needed. Some units also organize integrated legal propaganda through short skits, legal games or listen to feedback from the grassroots to grasp the actual situation.
According to statistics from the Lac Son District Judicial Department, in just the first 6 months of 2025, there were nearly 20 mobile legal consultations held in particularly disadvantaged communes such as Ngoc Son, Mien Doi, Tu Do, Quyet Thang... Nearly 2,000 people had access to legal information, including many cases that were specifically instructed to resolve complaints and disputes that have existed for many years.
Bringing the law to the village not only raises legal awareness in the community but also contributes to limiting violations due to lack of knowledge. Thereby, improving the effectiveness of state management and maintaining security and order at the grassroots level.
According to Ms. Bui Thi Ha - Head of the Lac Son District Judicial Department, in the coming time, the district will continue to coordinate with grassroots organizations and authorities to expand mobile legal consulting activities, especially in communes in particularly difficult areas. This is a practical approach, suitable to actual conditions, contributing to bringing the law closer to the people, realizing the goal of building a society of rule of law right from the most remote villages.
