	Resources Many of the cases we are instructed in are judicial review cases: cases brought against central or local government or against other public bodies challenging their decisions, policies, or failures to act. The potential for judicial review to help resolve disputes, and the way in which the judicial review process works, is not well known. If you instruct us we will explain all of this to you, but to help individuals and organisations (including advice workers) work out whether judicial review may be appropriate our Public Law and Human Rights team have produced some basic guides and case studies. Guides We have produced two guides: A Judicial Review: Procedure Guide – designed to provide a basic overview of the main stages in a judicial review case. To view the guide click here. To download the guide as pdf click here. A Judicial Review: Advisers’ Checklist – aimed in particular at advisers’ in advice agencies and other community groups who want to know whether judicial review may be appropriate in a particular case.

Training notes We run training sessions on public law issues and will periodically add our training notes to the website.
