1. LSS/Legal Aid Survey -- TLABC's Criminal Defence Committee

Question Title

* 1. In terms of efficient and effective delivery of service to clients, what are some of the SPECIFIC difficulties you have encountered in the last year or two within the LSS system (including but not limited to: intake/application process, coverage decisions, approval for disbursements, approval for appeals, etc.)? Please be as detailed as possible, and give actual examples from your own experience where possible.

Question Title

* 2. With a view to improving service for counsel, please suggest one or two SPECIFIC ways that LSS can improve its operations for lawyers’ benefit. (IMPORTANT NOTE: please differentiate between operation of LSS and funding for LSS. Funding is obviously a problem, and one that we intend to address, but that will be appropriately directed to the AG’s office.)

Question Title

* 3. What steps are you prepared to take to exert pressure on the government to increase legal aid funding in BC? What steps would you suggest TLABC consider, as an association?
