In this scenario, we seek to objectively address all the passages proposed as the historical evolution of access to justice, the difference between gratuity and legal assistance, to analyze how the Public Defender's Office is effective in the role of bringing justice to the low-income, as well as evaluating the criteria for granting the benefits separately. The study was developed from the deductive method, through bibliographic research, legal journals, articles published on the internet worldwide.
