Duty solicitor members lists 1 October 2022 to 2 January 2023
The members lists will generally only show rota schemes. Courts will only be listed separately where a choice had to be made from alternative options or if there are restrictions on eligibility due to postcode. All other courts are included on the normal rota schemes.
Organisations should check that all duty solicitors are listed correctly. Organisations may contact crm12@justice.gov.uk regarding any inaccuracies with the members lists. We are unable to accept any new requests for changes to the October 22 rotas, and we cannot accept requests from individual duty solicitors. We ask that queries are sent by email only to the above address, so that we can keep a record and respond accordingly to those who raise them. The deadline for us to receive feedback relating to the members lists is Friday 12 August 2022.
Organisations are reminded of their obligation to ensure that their contact details are accurate and kept up to date via the Duty Solicitor Contact Centre website in accordance with paragraph 9.22 of the 2022 Standard Crime Contract Specification.
We expect to publish the new rotas mid-September 2022.
Please find below the link to the scheme members list on the Google Drive.
Please note this members list has been produced following the recent CRM12 application process.
Please email dutysolqueries@justice.gov.uk if a duty solicitor gives formal notice of leaving or leaves your employment.
