Reasons why lawyers don't accept cases

Objectivity of law: Article 44 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * Defenders or anyone else shall not help criminal suspects or defendants to conceal, destroy or forge evidence or collude with others, nor shall they threaten or induce witnesses to commit perjury or engage in other acts that hinder judicial proceedings. Anyone who violates the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to law. If a defender is suspected of committing a crime, it shall be handled by an investigation organ other than the investigation organ where the defender undertakes the case. If the defender is a lawyer, he shall promptly notify the law firm where he belongs or the lawyers association to which he belongs.
