Abstract
You can find more of Jo's writing and research on her website www.jowilding.org.
Even though legal aid is available for people seeking asylum, there is uneven access to advice across Britian. Based on empirical reserach, this book offers fresh thinking on what has gone wrong in the legal aid market. It presents a rare picture of the barristers, solicitors an caseworkers practising immigratioin law in charities and private firms. In doing so, this book examines supply and demand and illuminates what constitutes high-quality legal aid work/provision, susequent conflicts with financial rationality and how practitioners resolve these issues. Challenging existing legal aid policy, this book presents innovative insights to ensure public service markets around the globe function well for all those involved.
