    Barristers Direct Access in Criminal Cases?
    Hello ppl,

    I'm studying AS law.

    I've been taught that Direct Access to baristers for anyone was granted by the bar in Sept 2004 for civil cases and that it's not available for criminal cases.

    However lately someone told me, following a review by The Bar, direct access to criminal cases is now available.

    The book i'm using was published around 2008.

    So basically i was wondering, is direct access available in criminal cases?
    If it is when was this review, i can't seem to find any data on this.

    Thanks

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £5.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...
