Continuing on, the Minister indicated that prior to representing a client, counsel must provide full disclosure of their respective clients from the nature of that employment relationship including supervision by the same director and employment by the Legal Services Board, seek the client's acknowledgement, legal aid lawyers must come from two separate clinics and represent the two parties in one case. Administration of clinics are physically separated and access to files are separated.
