• In criminal law, matter is the main charge arising from the incident eg murder, theft
• The file no is created by the firm's office and may be added after return from the police station.
• Attending is the person that you are attending, this could be different from the client. For example, a witness in the case.
• The fee earner is the person completing the attendance. This may not be the lawyer running the case, it could for example be a trainee, a paralegal or a police station adviser.
• Duration is the time spent. In legally aided criminal law, time spent is billed in 6-minute increments (eg 6,12,18,24,36,42,48,54, 60-minutes etc) and only 6-minute increments should be listed in the duration.
• It is common practice when completing attendance notes to refer to the people involved using initials, for example, Keith Wales would become KW.]
