	Queen's Counsel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Queen's Counsel (postnominal QC), during the reign of a male sovereign known as King's Counsel (KC), are, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, barristers, or in Scotland advocates, appointed by letters patent to be one of "Her Majesty's Counsel learned in the law".
		Queen's Counsel and serjeants were prohibited, at least from the mid-nineteenth century, from doing chambers work: that is, they were not permitted to sign pleadings, for which a junior barrister had to be retained.
		The appointment of Queen's Counsel is made on the recommendation of the Lord Justice General to the First Minister of Scotland, formerly the Secretary of State for Scotland.

	Motion for Release of Defendant - by Shalley & Murray
		Defense counsel was informed of this fact for the first time on the record immediately prior to the time that defense counsel had anticipated giving his closing argument to the jury.
		The Court pointedly suggested to defense counsel that it was not a question of punishment, and counsel believes that the Court may have even made reference to the fact that as a general proposition preventative detention is not permissible in New York.
		Defense counsel indicated that this was a matter of first impression in his experience, but the Court placed on the record that the Court had "unfortunately" been involved in a few incidents similar to the instant situation.

	NYSDA's Determining Eligibility Report for Appointed Counsel in New York State
		The constitutional and statutory obligation of the judiciary to insure the proper determination of eligibility for appointed counsel is thus beyond dispute.
		In Nassau County, the Defense Counsel Screening Bureau (DCSB), an agency created by the County Executive, and housed in the office of the Commissioner of Accounts, conducts all eligibility screening and recommends to the court whether to appoint or deny counsel.
		Therefore, in many counties, the courts cannot adequately perform their constitutionally mandated obligation to safeguard the counsel rights of criminal defendants, since their involvement in the eligibility determination process is minimal at most and quite often nonexistent.

		In Dr. Chee’s case the courts decided that he was not entitled to foreign Queens Counsel, because the case was not complex enough.
		In 1991 the government amended the legislation by restricting access to Queens’ Counsels and the amendment required the courts to take into account two additional requirements: (1) that the case must be of sufficient difficulty and complexity; and (2) the circumstances of the case.
		And uniquely, the legislation and rules require that the Attorney General be served, that he be paid his costs of the application to certify outside counsel in the sum of Singapore dollars $1,000.00, and that the Attorney General be entitled to oppose the application.
