Abstract
The legal aid system in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland is broken and entrenching inequality. To use a medical analogy, it is hemorrhaging. No amount of band aids, ‘bolt-ons’ or quick fixes, as have been tried, will stop it from bleeding.
The legal aid system needs a total redesign informed by the significant body of research that repeatedly make recommendations based on evidence but which is largely ignored. A responsive civil legal aid system will require a deep root and branch reform and re-envisioning of civil legal aid backed by statutory requirements for access to justice. It will require a vision that is driven by the public benefit, and which is properly evaluated and accountable.
Suggestions are made in the submission around how this might be done looking at other tested models and evidence based practice.
