Normally a criminal solicitor's job starts with an initial face to face interview with the new client. However, if the solicitor or the client are in a hurry, or afraid of missing some important details, the client might ensure that the available time is used to maximum benefit, by recording in writing some details the solicitor might need to know sooner rather than later. This document, can be called a briefing or 'confidential written instructions'. When completed it is a communication between a client and a lawyer for the purpose of obtaining legal advice and representation, and it should remain confidential. Do not produce multiple photocopies if the completed document.
