What is the LSC Manual?

All contracted legal aid providers with a 2010 Standard Contract (Civil or Crime) are contractually required to have access to the LSC Manual via a subscription with its publisher.

The manual is the essential reference guide for organisations providing legal aid services and includes:

statutes
regulations and orders
contract documents
eligibility criteria
reference materials

The LSC Manual consists of:

Volume 1: Crime
Volume 2: Civil
Volume 3: Funding Code

The manual is also available on CD-ROM and online.

Updates will be provided approximately every six months if required.
