Criminal Legal Aid

Persons held in a police station can ask to be represented by a nominated solicitor, whose services may be public funded; this is known as legal aid. With legal aid, the government provides funding to help people:

•    Protect their basic rights and get a fair hearing
•    Access the court process to sort out disputes
•    Solve problems that contribute to social exclusion
