Legal Aid Review Panel

The Legal Aid Review Panel is a group of independent experts that evaluates decisions made by legal aid offices regarding individuals’ eligibility for financial assistance with legal matters. If someone believes their legal aid application was unfairly denied or their legal aid services were improperly handled, they can appeal to this panel. The panel reviews the case to determine whether the decision was correct, ensuring that legal aid is fairly administered and that eligible individuals receive the support they need to access justice.
