Family law software FAQs

What is Legal Aid?

Legal aid in the UK is a system where the government provides funding to help individuals access legal advice and representation. It aims to ensure that everyone has access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. Legal aid covers a wide range of legal issues, including criminal law, family law, immigration, and housing.

To qualify for legal aid, an individual must demonstrate that they cannot afford to pay for legal advice and that their case meets certain criteria. The criteria vary depending on the type of case, but generally, the case must be serious, complex, and have a chance of success.

Legal aid is primarily administered by the Legal Aid Agency (LAA), which is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. The LAA works with a network of legal aid providers, including solicitors, barristers, and legal charities, to provide legal services to those who qualify.
