We take as a case study lawyers performing legal aid work in England and Wales. An empirical model of legal aid expenditure variations across areas in relation to changes in the demand for conveyancing services and the structure of the industry is estimated using dynamic panel data methods. The results may help to explain rising government legal aid expenditure in recent years. - Reproduced Legal aid Fenn, Paul Rickman, Neil Oxford Economic Papers 41655 41655 41655 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 51, Issue no: 3 AR42031 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
