Spin effects in a normal two-dimensional (2D) electron gas in lateral contactwith a 2D region with spin-orbit interaction are studied. The peculiarity ofthis system is the presence of spin-dependent scattering of electrons from theinterface. This results in an equilibrium edge spin current and nontrivial spinresponses to a particle current. We investigate the spatial distribution of thespin currents and spin density under non-equilibrium conditions caused by aballistic electron current flowing normal or parallel to the interface. Theparallel electron current is found to generate the spin density near theinterface and to change the edge spin current. The perpendicular electroncurrent changes the edge spin current proportionally to the electron currentand produces a bulk spin current penetrating deep into the normal region. Thisspin current has two components, one of which is directed normal to theinterface and polarized parallel to it, and the second is parallel to theinterface and is polarized in the plane perpendicular to the contact line. Bothspin currents have a high degree of polarization ($\sim 40-60%$).
