Brief by a solicitor to a barrister concerning a client person in a criminal matter. Barristers can be hard to please. They are heard to complain that their briefs comprise 'not enough observations' or 'too many observations'. Or too many lever arch files. However, most lawyers (barristers and solicitors) seem to agree that a brief need not be a great work of literature. But it does need to (a) be delivered in good time, and (b) under cover of instructions that contain the essential information, so that the barrister never subsequently complains "why didn't you tell me about that?". This document can be adapted to become a pro forma covering brief in criminal matters.
