What is criminal immunity?

Legal analysis: criminal immunity mainly means that the parties can enjoy some special legal rights in the process of criminal proceedings. Criminal immunity is set by the state for the work needs of special people, but everyone is equal before the law, so even those who enjoy criminal immunity can't ignore the law, and criminals still need to accept legal sanctions. For example, the criminal immunity enjoyed by lawyers mainly means that the statements made by lawyers in performing their duties in litigation activities are not accused and investigated.

Legal basis: Article 37 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law is inviolable. Lawyers' opinions on agency and defense expressed in court are not subject to legal investigation. Except for statements that endanger national security, maliciously slander others, and seriously disrupt court order. If a lawyer is detained or arrested according to law for participating in litigation activities on suspicion of committing a crime, the detention and arrest organ shall notify the lawyer's family, his law firm and lawyers' association within 24 hours after the detention and arrest.
