attorney ad litem Explanation: http://www.jurisdictionary.com/dictionary/dictionary a.htm Ad Litem Literally, "for the suit". For the purpose of the pending litigation. Occasionally courts will appoint an attorney to represent a party who cannot represent itself, e.g., an unborn child or a defaulted debtor who left town owing money on his mortgage. Such an attorney is called an attorney ad litem (properly italicized). If a guardian is appointed by the court to stand in the shoes of an incapacitated person or minor, that guardian is called a guardian ad litem, indicating that the guardian is only serving for the purpose of the present litigation See also the below websites for more details.

Legal aid lawyer (solicitor) Explanation: I am pretty sure that 'bistandsadvokat' and 'legal aid lawyer'( or solicitor) are equivalents. With both payment comes out of public funds. |
