Selection of Advocates
Advocacy is a key function of CPS work and is delivered by our own internal advocates, agent prosecutors or members of the self-employed Bar, representing the Crown. Every advocate plays an important role, and every advocate can make a positive difference in every hearing. By instructing both in-house and external advocates we ensure greater flexibility, choice and resilience and have access to a larger pool of quality advocates.
