Media Reviews
'I wish I could say 'this book is never off my desk' but the truth is my copy of LAG Legal Aid Handbook always appears to be on someone else's. Vicky Ling and Simon Pugh have yet again devised an important, intelligent, easy to read, and, above all, practical guide to our ever more complex legal aid system. Essential reading for all practitioners seeking to provide a first class service to clients in a post-LASPO world.' Phil Walsh Partner/Practice Manager, Miles & Partners LLP ' - admirably clear on some very tricky points, There should be at least one copy in every office where legal aid work is carried out.' Carol Storer, director, LAPG
