This study aims to draw the constitutional and legal contours of full and free legal assistance pursuant to Brazilian regulations, stating that Brazil has adopted the public model of full and free legal assistance exclusively, where the only legitimate is the Public Defender's Office. The Constitutional Model of the Process requires a reinterpretation of the provision of the legal assistance system in Brazil, especially in this historical moment when enters into force a new Civil Procedure Code (Law n.13.105, March 16th, 2015) which , unlike the previous system , there is a title for the Public Defender's Office (art. 185-187). If nothing else the constitutional amendment 80/2014 creates a specific section for the Public Defenders Office, keeping it in Chapter IV which is reserved for the essential functions of the justice, but removing it from the part reserved for public advocacy, making it clear that there is a new institution of sui generis‟ nature and designed to provide full and free legal assistance. This model should be provided by the Offices of Public Defender Services, and nowadays the assistance improperly paid by anyone other than the Public Defender offends the adversarial principle and the principle of equality of arms, translating it into real unconstitutionality. The exceptions considered are the lawyers 'pro bono' given the election of the part which constitutes them and the trust relationship that justifies the free legal aid on their part
