Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of this book is to provide a clear and practical guide to the Legal Aid Act 1988 and to elucidate the ways in which changes to the system for administrating legal aid are likely to work out in practice. Since the Act was passed the responsibility for legal aid has been transferred from the Law Society to a Legal Aid Board under the control of the Lord Chancellor and a large number of practitioners will want to know the exact nature of the changes to the current system.;The book will also be available as part of Butterworths Annotated Legislation Service.
