Legal affairs

Citizens Advice regularly publishes evidence reports and briefings of CAB clients' problems. We use this evidence to campaign for changes in policies and services.

Citizens Advice Bureaux clients continue to face difficulties obtaining access to justice and we helped with 275,000 problems relating to the legal system in 2007/08. Significant barriers include high court fees and difficulties accessing, or ineligibility for, publicly funded services.
