Legal Aid - cuts coming...

Interesting article here by Afua Hirsch of the Guardian on the potential impact of the forthcoming CSR on the legal aid budget.

What will it do to access to justice if free legal advice on areas such as Housing Law, Welfare Advice, and Debt - issues which affect the poorest in our society - are removed from the legal aid budget?

Can this ever be replaced by the “Pro Bono Society”, as it isn’t called?
