Crown Court
Any case that is that is to be tried by the Crown Court automatically qualifies for legal aid and there is no means test. However, at the end of the case if found guilty a decision will be made by the court as to if an individual should be made to pay a contribution to their own legal costs. This is decided on an individual case basis and is means tested.Clarkes have significant experience at Crown Court and operate by instructing leading Barristers to represent clients on our behalf. We firmly believe that this system is in the best interest of our clients.
Clarkes provide substantial workloads to the Bar and are able to select the best Barristers from leading chambers for each particular client and case. All our Barristers must earn the right to not only be included on our selection panel but to remain on it for future legal work.
