Legal Services in Garda Stations
08/12/2015 11:05:48Guidance for solicitors when providing Legal Services in Garda Stations has just been published by the Law Society.
The Guidance will prove invaluable, particularly for criminal law practitioners, who must navigate complex legal issues quickly while remaining conscious that clients may be especially vulnerable people.
No two garda station attendances are ever the same, so the Guidance has been designed to assist solicitors by identifying best practice throughout the pre-interview, interview, and post-interview phase. Everything from best practice for client consultations to privacy and disclosure are covered in detail.

The Law Society will continue to monitor this evolving area of practice and assist practitioners when attending garda station interviews. Indeed, the Guidance will remain under frequent review and will be revised as required.
