The Family and Civil Legal Aid Bar 2015-2023
This data analysis should be considered alongside the Ministry of Justice’s “Review of Civil Legal Aid Data Publication Series: Provider Overview” which uses the same shared dataset. The aim of both analyses is to present key findings about the civil and family legal aid Bar, and to provide evidence about the sustainability of the current legal aid market. This analysis is mostly different from the MoJ’s publication in that we look at the ‘whole picture’ – that is, the total fees of those barristers who undertake legal aid work
Publication note: this document has been published on the Bar Council website on 29 November 2024. It was originally submitted as part of the Bar Council’s evidence submission to the Review of Civil Legal Aid on 21 February 2024.
