Sheriff Court - summary case management workshop

Message from Sheriff Principal Anwar -

This event is due to take place in Court 7 of Glasgow Sheriff Court

As you are aware, summary case management will roll out to the cited courts on 10 April and to the undertaking courts on 22 April.

In advance of the roll out, a further workshop will be provided for defence agents to take place on Wednesday, 9 April at 4.15pm. As well as discussing the roll out of summary case management, there will be a demonstration of the Defence Agent Service (DAS) for defence agents. DAS will be introduced across this jurisdiction shortly by the Crown and it would be in the interests of your members to attend to learn more. I have viewed DAS and I regard it as a very valuable tool to assist your members in the management of their caseloads. In time, I expect DAS to be the conduit for disclosure which will make matters far easier for defence agents who are currently relying upon egress or pen drives.

With best wishes.

Sheriff Principal Aisha Anwar

Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin
