Abstract
Legal aid system creates an opportunity for equal access to legal services especially for low-income citizens. If legal aid system is not sufficiently financially resourced, it can hardly provide fair, equal and meaningful access to justice. In this paper, author lays out the debate over the economic justification of legal aid system in an era of limited public resources and argues that legal services reach further than the clients served which have many positive economic impacts.
