EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Abtract

The mixed model debate in Canada has always been central to the issue of cost-effective delivery of legal aid. The mixed model concept has evolved from the "staff lawyer versus judicare" debate to a more multidimensional concept of mixed model of service delivery. The multidimensional mixed model concept provides a more versatile framework for developing a systematic approach to controlling legal aid costs.
