4 Finding the Most Suitable Barrister for the Brief A Clerk can provide a list of suitable Barristers. In making recommendations, if required, a Clerk will consider the Barrister s expertise, performance, fees and personality. Even if the Barrister has already been chosen, it is sensible to contact the Clerk regarding availability, costs etc. The Cl erk s List Introduction Dever s List is the oldest List of Barristers at the Victorian Bar, having started operation in As the Bar has expanded to approximately 2100 members as of 2016, finding the appropriate Barrister for a particular brief can be a time-consuming task. Recommending a Barrister who is both appropriate and available to handle the case are matters to which the Clerks at Devers List can provide answers promptly and efficiently. Barristers Clerk A Barristers Clerk is responsible for administering all aspects of a List of Barristers; advising Solicitors regarding appropriate Counsel, their availability and fee structures. The office staff also look after the distribution of briefs to Barristers, manage accounts, phone calls, faxes and mail and also deal with general enquiries. As a further benefit, Clerks are able to put you in touch with new prospects ; talented Barristers who are not as yet widely known. Prompt Information on Barristers Availability The Clerk s Office can inform you regarding the movements of any Barrister on the List, take messages or locate and notify the Barrister in urgent situations. A computerised diary system has bookings well ahead of time. Within seconds, a Clerk can provide information regarding availability on a particular date and, if appropriate, immediately enter your brief into the diary. This can save you an enormous amount of time and frustration and can help minimise doubling up problems that sometimes occur. Minimising Costs for the Client While many large firms have their own preferred List of Barristers, there may be other Barristers who may also be suitable. A Clerk can provide you with this information. Wherever possible, a Clerk will negotiate the Barrister s fees before the brief is delivered. Ensuring the brief comes with the fee already marked helps avoid misunderstandings at a later stage. 6 7
