All types of offences, look at Penal Code.
There's no "Criminal Legal Aid Board" you so mentioned. Capital offence case, I think by now you ought to understand legal aids are assigned if one could not afford or lawyers volunteers to pick it up pro bono.
I made an admission in post 24 that I made a mistake and that it should CLAS instead of Criminal Legal Aid Board. You already attributed the correction to me in your post 27 which means in post 27 you were already being told my none other than yours truly that there is no Criminal Legal Aid Board.
When I mentioned in post 18 (which you quoted in full), I qualified my comment in brackets (capital offence cases). I said lawyers would rush to do pro bono cases, and the pro bono cases I was referring to capital offence cases as such cases tend to attract free publicity for the lawyers involved.
The reason why it's not apparent to you (that lawyers rush to do
pro bono cases) is because pro bono cases (criminal cases) are controlled by this Committee called CLAS.
The Registrar does not 'assign' because he does not control the lawyers doing pro bono. The website says the Registrar will 'arrange'. Yes, arrange with CLAS which is the controlling body.
In capital offence cases, you are entitled to legal aid. In cases other than capital offence cases, you don't get legal aid automatically.
I don't know why you insist that CLAS covers all types of offences. It clearly says CLAS
only covers offences etc, which means not all. Otherwise, they should have just said all "CLAS covers all".
I cited capital offence cases as an example because it's the one that I claimed lawyers crave doing. I didn't say only capital cases are eligible for legal aid.
