The Bar Standards Board has published the Public Access Scheme Guidance for Lay Clients which is now contained in the Bar Standards Board Bar Handbook.

If you are a member of the public looking to engage a barrister directly without the intervention of a solicitor you are strongly encouraged to read the Public Access Scheme Guidance for Lay Clients which contains much information on such matters, for example:

  • the advantages of using the scheme.
  • whether a case is suitable for public access.
  • whether a barrister is obliged to accept a case on public access.
  • how to make use of the public access scheme.
  • what work a barrister can do under the scheme.
  • how to instruct a barrister.
  • how charges are levied.
  • what to do if you wish to complain, and the requirement to provide identification and verification to your barrister.
