gnasher16 31,308 Posted Friday at 10:00 Report Share Posted Friday at 10:00 (edited) A qc ( or kc now ) is just a senior barrister that has showed enough expertise to be recognised by the monarchy,you could get a qc as a duty solicitor theres no reason they cant do it but as a rule they typically deal with complex or high profile cases in a crown court. Apparently an old case of mine from years ago actually gets a small mention in a book called Under the Wig written by William Clegg QC when i sued my own solicitor Edited Friday at 10:02 by gnasher16 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My brother and I were charged with GBH and Trespass in pursuit of game or coney, over 50 years ago. He qualified for means tested legal aid , I didn’t. The solicitor was a pal of our dads and advised us that he would represent my brother on legal aid and me pro bono as we were being tried together. We were found not guilty of all charges. We were never offered or asked for a duty solicitor when charged and interviewed at the police station, Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
