The LSC is preparing the criminal duty solicitor rotas for January to July 2012. Existing duty solicitors who wish to remain on the same rota need do nothing. Solicitors wanting to move rota need to submit a form CDS12. New duty solicitors need to submit a CDS12 and either a CLAS certificate or proof of application for one (if the latter, the CLAS certificate must follow by 14th January 2012).
CDS12s must be submitted to dutysolqueries@legalservices.gsi.gov.uk to arrive by 5pm on 14th November 2011.
