We run the legal aid scheme in England and Wales.
We provide information, advice and legal representation to help two million people each year access justice.
The Community Legal Service (CLS) helps people with civil legal problems such as family breakdown, debt and housing. The Criminal Defence Service (CDS) helps people who are under police investigation or facing criminal charges.
