WELCOME

Welcome to this blog, which is part of YLAL's campaign against cuts to legal aid. "Legal aid" is publicly funded legal advice and representation to people otherwise unable to afford it. Here you will find anonymous case studies submitted by legal aid lawyers and their clients. Take a look to find out how legal aid provides a critical lifeline to the most vulnerable people in society.
Young Legal Aid Lawyers (YLAL) is a group of students, paralegals, trainee solicitors, pupil barristers and qualified junior lawyers who are committed to practising publicly funded areas of law in England and Wales.

This is a YLAL initiative
