Recommendation
Civil legal aid, like criminal legal aid, needs the Government to take decisive action to change the approach set by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 at the start of the last decade. Without such a step, the sector will continue to struggle to attract new recruits.
Government Response Summary
The government acknowledges the need for change by stating it is already considering the sustainability of the civil legal aid system and its future structure.
