The legal aid and access to justice area of the Law Society's website is for legal aid practitioners and provides the latest information on legal aid, as well as links to related Law Society advice and services, practice notes and publications. A Legal Aid Update e-newsletter can be subscibed to via this section of the site.

This section of the Justice web portal is for legal aid practitioners. It includes links to legislation and to information on making an application for legal aid, submitting a claim, assessing a client's eligibility, funding and costs assessment, and contracts and tenders. There is also a link to information on the Legal Aid Agency (LAA), an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice, which provides both civil and criminal legal aid advice in England and Wales. The agency replaced the Legal Services Commission on 1 April 2013. The Civil Legal Advice service, a national advice service paid for by legal aid, which offers free legal advice to those eligible for legal aid, and the Public Defender Service, which provides independent advice, assistance and representation on criminal matters, are also part of this agency. 

Much of LAPG's web site is accessible only by members, but content available to non-members includes news articles and a range of consultation and other documents relating to legal aid practice in the UK.

The Legal Services Research Centre (LSRC), which was the independent research division of the Legal Services Commission, closed on 1 April 2013. Its publications can be accessed via the National Archives website.

This independent review, led by Lord Carter of Coles, looked at new methods for procuring legal services with legal aid. Information and documentation on the site (which is now archived) includes the full texts both of Lord Carter's interim report, Procurement of criminal defence services: market-based reform, published February 2006, and of his final report, Legal aid: a market-based approach to reform, published 13 July 2006.

The Northern Ireland Legal Services Commission assumed responsibility for the administration of legal aid from the Law Society of Northern Ireland in November 2003. The site includes press releases, publications and a searchable database of solicitors.
