The latest arrival of this kind of site is Religion Law UK, www.religionlaw.co.uk, set up by Neil Addison, of New Bailey Chambers, with practical information and relevant web links on the subject of Religion and the Law today.
He covers the law relating to criminal and also civil situations where religion is involved and also has sections for case law relevant to religion, with links to the judgments if they are available. There are also reports and articles, a section on international declarations and a very comprehensive set of links to religious bodies under headings of Legal, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish, Eastern and General. Neil would welcome contributions from other lawyers to extend the site.
He is also the author of the key web site in the area of Harassment Law, www.harassment-law.co.uk.
The fee is £99 plus VAT and there is a 24 hour response guaranteed although the barristers providing the answer and the chambers are not named. Questions can be up to 300 words and answers appear to be of similar length (some samples are given on the site). Although the advice is provided by barristers, LawOnOrder is actually a company and there are some pretty strong disclaimers in place.
John Antell, www.john.antell.name, provides advice on contractual disputes particularly those involving information technology, building, or engineering; unfair dismissal and discrimination; and income tax including PAYE and NIC particularly where employment status is disputed.
He will provide initial advice for a fixed fee to assist the client to assess the strength of the case before court or tribunal proceedings are issued. When court or tribunal proceedings follow a solicitor (or, in tax cases, an accountant) will need to be instructed as well to prepare the case for trial. He can, on request, recommend an appropriate solicitor (or accountant) for the case.
Dominic Bevis has set up barristerdirect.com. He provides advice on drafting computer contracts to meet the needs of small to mid-size businesses and individuals in, and served by, the technology sector. He is able to draft, review and help negotiate agreements governing the development, licensing and maintenance of computer systems.
I have set up a new web page for legal services provided in this way at www.venables.co.uk/selling.htm (category 6). Please let me know if there are other barristers doing this. I am still working out how best to present the web sites of barristers providing advice under the public access rules.
