Illustration for Parole Act 2002

When you are in court for something related to parole, it is like being in a criminal court case. This means that for the purposes of section 6(a) of the Legal Services Act 2000, you can get legal aid if you need it. You can think of legal aid like help from a lawyer that the government pays for, and it is available for criminal cases.
