Legal aid management information
The management information to understand latest workload volumes and expenditure on Criminal legal aid reform and Trafficking and modern slavery.
Each publication has a specific definition for workload and expenditure metrics. See the management information tables and guidance for more details.
These figures reflect the data held on the relevant case management systems so there are some definitional and timing differences from the official statistics. They are subject to the data quality issues associated with large administrative systems, including the late reporting of cases and regular updating of case details. This can lead to the figures for previous months’ being revised each publication. These revisions are generally small and do not usually change the overall picture of performance.
The official statistics provide a more comprehensive view of a range of statistics related to legal aid systems. We advise using the official statistics for most purposes and using the published management information only to understand the very latest high-level position.
