Legal aid exhibition goes on tour
28 April 2009Exhibition highlighting the importance of legal aid to travel the country
The LSC and Ministry of Justice (MoJ) have launched an exhibition to increase people’s awareness of legal aid.
About the exhibition
Earlier this year, we commissioned a MORI poll that showed us that only 17% of the public in England and Wales know a great deal about legal aid and most do not know the sort of problems it can help resolve. So in the 60th year of legal aid, our exhibition is going on tour.
It provides information on legal aid through the decades and includes a timeline of important events, information on some of the cases legal aid has funded, as well as a glimpse into the future of legal aid.
Dates and venues
It went on display in the House of Commons from Monday 20 April until Thursday 23 April.
It will now tour England and Wales, taking in towns and cities such as Birmingham, Norwich, York, Bala (North Wales), Blackburn, Leeds, Bristol and Liverpool:
