This work covers assisting individuals who want to challenge a criminal conviction or sentence by applying to the Criminal Cases Review Commission for a possible referral to a higher court. A solicitor gathers new evidence, reviews trial and appeal material, drafts submissions, and coordinates with the Commission, the Court of Appeal and other parties. The aim is to identify a real ground for review and to progress the case through the Commission's referral and any subsequent appeal process.
