Dear Members
I am seeking the opinion of solicitors/police station reps and barristers who regularly attend magistrates courts and police stations. As you know many of us are extremely busy and cannot find cover for various hearings/police stations
which may be some distance away or even locally. I am developing a website and an app which the solicitors across the country can log into and check who is at a particular court/police station to save time in finding cover. This is only possible if solicitors/police
station reps/counsel are willing to sign up to this scheme. I intend to list all the police stations and courts and members can the upload their details on the app/website to advise everyone as to their availability. There will also be a section to advise
what type of hearing they are covering if it is matter in the magistrates court, i.e. if they are doing a trial then they may not be available to cover a hearing. Similarly for the police stations. I know there is a website called police station reps which
has the numbers of solicitors and reps who are close to the vicinity but it does not tell you who is available. This again will save time if members can quickly let it be known that they are available to cover and in what area and if they are available. This
will require some input from everyone to keep the website/app information in real time. We all know time is money and I am trying to make life easy as possible, as I know I have spent on occasions hours to find cover.
Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
