Legal Aid Assistance

The aim of the Legal Aid Commission is to work to inform people of their legal rights and obligations and to improve their access to the justice system.

If you require assistance beyond simple legal advice, you must complete an application form. Applications for legal assistance are subject to means, merit, matter and jurisdiction tests. A successful application will result in a grant of legal assistance which will be subject to terms and conditional on the client paying a financial contribution determined by the Legal Aid Commission.
