Can the defendant sign the criminal trial record on his behalf?

According to the provisions of China's Criminal Procedure Law, court transcripts of criminal cases are generally recorded in court by court clerks, and relevant parties, such as defendants, may also request to consult, correct or supplement the court transcripts. The trial record needs to be signed by the relevant parties themselves or their wills, and cannot be signed on their behalf.

As for the specific writing of the court record, the formal court document format is generally adopted, and it is necessary to clearly and accurately record the details of the litigation facts, the opinions of the parties, the trial process and so on. The contents may include the time and place of the trial, the names of the persons appearing in court, the claims, the trial procedures, the statements and excuses of the parties, etc.

It should be noted that the writing of court transcripts should comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the records. If you are a party, I suggest you listen carefully during the trial, explain or raise objections when necessary, and safeguard your legitimate rights and interests. If you are a lawyer or legal person, it is recommended to consult relevant legal professionals for more specific and accurate reference.

The above is based on the general interpretation of relevant laws and regulations, and the specific situation needs to be judged and answered in combination with specific cases and legal opinions. If there are specific cases, it is recommended to seek the help of legal professionals to ensure accuracy and professionalism.
