 The Scheme does not offer any follow-up service or representation to the applicants, meaning they must seek further advice elsewhere after obtaining some general advice from the duty lawyers.Apart from the above schemes, The Hong Kong Bar Association and The Law Society of Hong Kong operate their own Bar Free Legal Service Scheme and Free Legal Consultation Scheme respectively where enrolled law firms and barristers specializing in different fields volunteer to give consultations on a pro bono basis.In the former scheme, each barrister volunteers up to three days or twenty hours per year in a case.
