Law firms Liverpool, London and all over the country deal with all aspects of the law on a day to day basis. I have had some dealings with Liverpool law firms and have a friend who deals with family legal aid Liverpool. He once explained that there are different areas of the law and each has further sub-sets:
Civil law: lawsuits and other hearings where there is no accusation of a crime. In these cases, the standard of proof is preponderance of the evidence. Both sides are private parties and nobody can be sent to jail over the issue at hand, but the court can issue rulings which make people do things, refrain from doing other things, and/or award monetary damages
Criminal law: the process for dealing with crimes. In these cases, it is the government versus the accused, and the government has to show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Administrative law: law dealing with the internal running of government departments and services. There aren't as many standard rules for administrative law, as it mostly deals with the regulations of a particular government body. Appeals of Social Security disability cases would be an example of administrative law.
Family law: a subset of civil law which deals with divorce, parenting, and related issues.
Corporate law: both civil and criminal law deal with regulating corporations and how they can act within society, things like accounting regulations and fraud (criminal) as well as product liability (civil).
Contract law: a subset of civil law dealing with contracts and how they are enforced by courts.
Traffic law: a subset of criminal law dealing with traffic violations.
Constitutional law: an overarching area of law dealing with the Constitution and its interpretation.
What is legal aid?
Put simply, legal aid is when the government pays your legal costs or part of them when you are unable to afford them subject to proof and the merit of your case. Sometimes you may have to pay a contribution and you have to repay the costs on receipt of money or property from a settlement.
Legal aid means representation by a solicitor or barrister in civil proceedings in the District, Circuit, High and Supreme Courts. Legal aid is available also for representation before the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. Legal aid is not granted automatically. If you require representation for a court case, the Board will consider if it is reasonable for to grant legal aid. This procedure is called the merits test. This test is applied to each individual case. If the Board considers that it is reasonable to grant legal aid, a legal aid certificate will be issued to you and you will have legal representation for your case.
For someone who is a lawyer family law Liverpool is a very profitable area to enter. Family law is one of the largest areas of the law and covers a whole range of issues which are related to family matters. These include divorce, separation, custody, alimony and the division of joint assets.
