For further information on Civil Panel Counsel, including some myth-busting, see our information leaflet. The leaflet contains information about the 'Baby Barrister' scheme under which very junior barristers can be engaged to assist in some matters that do not involve advocacy.

Chambers Meetings

TSol has a programme of meeting clerks from larger sets of Chambers each year. If you want to meet those in TSol responsible for managing your Civil Panels (irrespective of the size of Chambers or the number of Panel Counsel in it) then contact Hayley Devine, for her details see above.

 

Security

It is important that Panel Counsel safeguard information entrusted to them. The following documents contain useful guidance.

Information Security Requirements - Guide for Counsel
Handling of Protectively Marked Material - Guide for Counsel
Summary of Basic Data Handling Requirements

This draft document covers security markings, physical security and encryption. We want papers going between TSol and Chambers to go by hand. Please ensure that papers are clearly addressed. Do not put papers relating to different cases in the same envelope or box.

 

Criminal Justice Secure Mail System

This is a relatively secure e-mail system that we are encouraging all London and Regional Panels to sign up to. It is free. Although originally set up for criminal work, it is now available for the Attorney General's Civil Panels.
