In this part I will explain what advice bureau is and then tell the different ways a case can be funded and the advice and assistant available to people. Society wants all people to follow the law accordingly so it means society should not only be equally bound by, but equally served by the legal system. Even though it is open to everybody some people were unable to apply for the legal help because they can’t afford to enforce the legal right so couldn’t access the legal system. The citizens’ advice bureau can be accessed by the public and they don’t have to pay. This helps people who require assistance to enforce their rights. This is because some people can’t really afford to get legal help so this makes it easier for them to get access to justice. …show more content…
One way is to pay a solicitor or barrister privately even though, this would be considerably expansive. It is estimated that a solicitor gets paid £150-£300 hourly and sometimes it can be considerably more, while barristers' fees are charged for the whole case. To get a solicitor or barrister gives the person an advantage because they are professionally qualified and have a great knowledge on the legal system. Conditional fee litigation is when the lawyers only get paid if they win the case and it known as 'no win no fee' and the lawyers can charge a 'success fee' of up to 100% of theirs usual fee. If the case is not won then the money is used to pay the other side's legal costs. The lawyers arranges for 'after the event' insurance to be provided, which the claimant then pays and this ensures the other side is paid if they are successful and win the case. Pro bono it is work that is used by either a solicitor or barrister for fee and advised to work a number of hours each year on a pro bono basis as part of a social responsibility

It is unfortunate that accidents that result in injuries are a part of life. Further more it is also unfortunate that often the party responsible for said accident do not feel compelled to offer compensation to the party affected. However in spite of this, there is still hope for the injured party thanks to personal injury lawyers. They are tasked with representing their clients who suffered from these events while making sure that their clients receive the compensation that they deserve. Ultimately personal injury lawyers play a big role with regards to safety initiatives by helping those injured, which is something that we all should aspire to do.
The procedure is quick, simpler and cheaper than the full county court process, which is helpful to both litigants and the over worked court system. It gives individuals and small businesses a useful lever against creditors or for consumer complaints. Without it, threats to sue over small amounts would b ignored on the basis that going to court would cost more than the value of the debt or compensation claimed. Public confidence is also increased, by proving that the legal system is not only accessible to the rich and powerful.

The judge will typically award as costs the court fees (filing fee, set-down fee) and a preparation fee. Generally speaking, the winning party is entitled to have his or her reasonable disbursements paid by the losing party. If a party is represented, the court may also award the party a reasonable representation fee at trial. Under s. 29 of the Courts of Justice Act, an award of costs in the Small Claims Court, other than disbursements, cannot exceed 15 percent of the amount claimed.
Since 15th century, barristers have been split up into two professions in United Kingdom, Barristers and Barristers. Barristers have traditionally been the people who research cases, deal with clients directly, and Barristers have had the rights of advocate in courts. Hence, Barristers' ethical duties are very important to the court and the client, and this is an essay to discuss the duties to the court, clients and conflicts in between.
The cab rank rule states that a lawyer practicing solely as a barrister must accept a brief in a field they profess to practice. Barristers are professionally bound by this duty if the brief is in the barrister’s capacity, skill and expertise; the barrister is available to appear and is not committed to other engagements which may inhibit their ability to advance a client’s interests; the fee offered is acceptable to the barrister; and the barrister is not obliged or permitted to refuse the brief pursuant to any exceptions.
Pro bono cases hinge on heuristic methods which often take up a lot of time for the lawyer, and might require assistance from a more qualified solicitor. This can be a wasteful as the client could pursue alternatives to litigation such as mediation to efficiently use the resources available to them . Unlike the healthcare system “there is no universal safety net for legal help, ” which means members who are not granted legal aid, yet cannot afford a lawyer are structurally disadvantaged. The pro bono system in place at the moment only covers the poorest members of the country with 98% of aid recipients falling below the poverty line. Individuals who fall into the gap between not being eligible for assistance and not being able to afford a lawyer have to result to seeking help from legal centres. These centres fall victim to underfunding and only function on recommendations rather than enduring support which one would receive from a legal aid worker. Although pro bono work is intended to assist all members who cannot access justice, it could misguide legal professionals as it only targets a small range of people who are in dire
The relationship between the Armenian client and the legal professional is a complex one. It is full of issues that go beyond giving them legal advice or filing a law suit on their behalf, it includes issues relating to a person’s cultural context. In fact, generally the actual legal issues sometimes become secondary, or at least not as central in the person’s priorities. At the beginning, such a relationship can cause great frustration and waste of time in the legal professional’s attempt to provide the appropriate service. Eventually, these communication issues can cause delays in providing professional service, and lead to extra unnecessary legal expenses. The correct understanding of a client’s cultural situation by the legal professional can lead to a higher quality of service, and lower costs. As difficult and complicated as this situation may sound, it is still not impossible. In fact, most experienced professionals learn over the years to relate to the Armenian culture.
Two of the more typical illustrations are (1) the advancement of key associations with other criminal equity offices and group based associations and (2) the improvement of a critical thinking way to deal with open wellbeing.

The continuous prerequisite to provide more services every day as an enterprise, corporate, or educational organizations continually expands reflects the need to balance the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with a balance of in and out-service resources available for the community. The blend of cost efficiency and actionable objectives of a help-desk function should be categorized and defined by the mission and support garnered by the technology the organization includes and should disabuse the end user from seeking the “common” answer. First, a helpdesk should be defined in the sense of a direction that communicates what users should be looking for, such as a particular malfunction or corruption to a user PC rather than the traditional error or search of a particular function. In this mission the following objectives from (Bulchand-Gidumal, 2009) summarize the help desk:
