Legal provisions for lawyers to investigate personal information

A lawyer can obtain the personal household registration information of the other party with the notification of case acceptance. Lawyers have the right to investigate and collect evidence by themselves, and only need "two certificates". When meeting a criminal suspect or defendant, you must have "three certificates" (lawyer's practice certificate, certificate of law firm, power of attorney or legal aid letter). However, although there are clear provisions in the law, it is generally difficult for lawyers to obtain evidence on their own, and defendants are often unwilling to cooperate. If criminal cases are involved, lawyers may have to bear their own personal risks.
