Legal analysis: If the defendant receives a subpoena from the court and does not ask for a lawyer, the court will not judge directly according to the plaintiff's lawsuit, as follows: Civil litigation and administrative litigation: it is the right of the parties to ask for a lawyer, not the court's business, and the court has not helped the parties to prepare a lawyer. Criminal proceedings: In general criminal cases, it is also the defendant's business to hire a lawyer, which has nothing to do with the court. But if it is a case that may be sentenced to life imprisonment, death penalty, etc. A lawyer must defend the defendant. At this time, the court will notify the legal aid agency to defend him for free.
Legal basis: Article 109 of the Civil Procedure Law, the people's court may summon the defendant who must appear in court, and refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being summoned twice.
