	Legal aid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rather Machiavellian argument is that legal aid upholds the rule of law and stabilizes society as a whole, by enabling the poor to regularly seek redress of their grievances through formal legal processes; otherwise, it is likely that the poor will resort to highly destructive self-help measures like rioting.

	Legal Aid for Divorce in England
		Legal Aid plays a particularly important role in divorce proceedings or, more accurately, in proceedings concerning the matrimonial property and has an unfair effect on the legal costs of the respective parties in any proceedings where one party is legally aided but the other is not.
		If one party is legally aided and the other is not then even if the party who is not legally aided is successful in the proceedings he\she cannot usually recover his\her legal costs from the loser as would usually be the case.
		This often means that the wife is eligible for legal aid in matrimonial proceedings whereas the husband is not.
