Network Directory: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Independent Country Expert network?

A hub-and-spoke directory of twelve specialist country and thematic expert sites. Independent Country Expert routes UK solicitor instructions to jurisdiction-specific experts while maintaining independence standards under CPR Part 35.

How do I choose the right network site for my case?

Match the appellant's country of origin to the dedicated country site (e.g. Somalia Expert for Somalia). Use thematic sites for persecution frameworks (Persecution Expert) or human rights analysis (Human Rights Experts).

Does Independent Country Expert duplicate country-deep content?

No — ICE provides routing and independence framework depth only. MOJ analysis, country-specific CPIN depth, and asylum profile pages are maintained on dedicated network sites linked from this directory.
