This open access book provides a snapshot of the state of
contemporary access to justice in England and Wales. Legal aid
lawyers provide a critical function in supporting individuals to
address a range of problems. These are problems that commonly
intersect with issues of social justice, including crime,
homelessness, domestic violence, family breakdown and educational
exclusion. However, the past few decades have seen a clear retreat
from the tenets of the welfare state, including, as part of this,
the reduced availability of legal aid. This book examines the
impact of austerity and related policies on those at the coalface
of the legal profession. It documents the current state of the
sector as well as the social and economic factors that make working
in the legal aid profession more challenging than ever before.
Through data collected via the Legal Aid Census 2021, the book is
underpinned by the accounts of over 1000 current and former legal
aid lawyers. These accounts offer a detailed demography and insight
into the financial, cultural and other pressures forcing lawyers to
give up publicly funded work. This book combines a mixture of
quantitative and qualitative analysis, allowing readers a broad
appreciation of trends in the legal aid profession. This book will
equip readers with a thorough knowledge of legal aid lawyers in
England and Wales, and aims to stimulate debate as to the fate of
access to justice and legal aid in the future.
