Abstract
This paper considers concepts of the “client” from the viewpoint of the lawyers working on publicly funded cases in England and Wales. It uses the lens of competence and quality assessment of legal work in the context of peer review, and suggests a picture of the way clients are currently perceived and treated by their publicly funded lawyers.
