Legal Aid
Legal aid funding has not gone up in nearly 20 years. Some lawyers are declining to take on cases that are funded by legal aid because their overheads are too high.

If you were the defendant in a court case, does it seem fair to you that the current justice system allows the prosecution to get way more funding than the defense?

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
