Illustration for Criminal Investigations (Bodily Samples) Act 1995

If you are a respondent under 18 and a lawyer is appointed for you, they have the same rights as a lawyer you would pay to represent you. They can represent you in court when someone applies to take a bodily sample from you. You can also ask them to represent you in other cases related to this, like if a warrant is issued for you or if there is a juvenile compulsion order made about you.
