Obtaining instructions from clients with vulnerabilities

Wednesday, 2 November 2022

People with vulnerabilities, including disability, trauma, or age-related vulnerabilities, frequently require legal assistance. It is a critical part of a barrister’s role to obtain instructions from a client, both in order to understand what their needs and objectives are, and also to prepare their evidence for Court.

Join Matthew Cobb-Clark, Acting Deputy Director of Prosecutions Michelle England, Rodney Lewis of Elderlaw and Sharmilla Bargon of the Redfern Legal Centre for an engaging online roundtable discussion on this important topic.
