Petition Legal Aid Allow only once

More details

Legal Aid is necessary in our system,
but to hear in court from a solicitor being paid legal aid fees
'' I know the accused and have represented them before''.
If they do not learn not to break the law after their first appearance we should not grant legal aid when they appear back in court
