Welcome
The Quality Assurance Scheme for Advocates (‘QASA’ or ‘the Scheme’) was developed by the Joint Advocacy Group (JAG), which comprises representatives from the Bar Standards Board (BSB), the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and ILEX Professional Standards (IPS). It is the first scheme that systematically assures the quality of advocates appearing in criminal courts in England and Wales.
On this website you can find updates and announcements on the Scheme, information on the Scheme including processes, applications and information about implementation. There are also specific pages containing useful information for advocates, judges and consumers.
If you have any queries about the Scheme please read our frequently asked questions.
Details about the consultation can be found here.
