A repository pattern exists to add another layer of abstraction between the application logic and the data layer, using dependency injection to decouple the two. It's not my preferred way of doing things, because of the effort and complexity involved, and I'm certainly not the only person who initially struggled to understand the concepts behind it. Plus, it's apparent that Entity Framework makes heavy use of that dependency injection already. But a Repository Pattern is widely considered - by software engineers far more experienced than I am - best practice for engineering services that deal with critical data.
