Appeals - Commonwealth Legal aid may be granted for an applicant to appeal against conviction and/or sentence where there is a strong likelihood of quashing the conviction or of a material reduction in the sentence and if successful, the appeal would result in the applicant regaining his or her liberty, livelihood or employment, or the appeal involves an important question of law. Legal aid may be granted to respond to a Crown appeal, without regard to the merits test. A grant of aid is subject to Means Test A and the Commonwealth Criminal Law Guidelines.
