Private Bar Referrals


Purpose: Track referrals to attorneys who pay the agency for receiving the referral.


Cost: There is no cost for this module. It requires administrator setup, as indicated below.


Recording a Referral on a Prescreen or Case

A site may have a Screening Status option on Prescreens for "Refer to Private Bar". This allows recording a referral even if an intake is not completed and a case opened.


A site may also have an Actions link on accepted cases called "Refer to Private Bar". Either link displays a page listing current users whose user profile matches the county and legal problem code of the prescreen or case.

A list of existing Private Bar Referrals on a case is typically displayed on the main profile page:

Administrator Setup

Users - An attorney must be a user to be tracked as receiving a private bar referral. These users must have the special Advocate/User Type of "Lawyer Referral Attorney". These users do not need the ability to login to an agency's site. Administrators set the type(s) on each user's profile page. See: User Accounts
