The significance of investigation and evidence collection
Protecting lawyers’ rights to investigate and collect evidence is a need for building a country ruled by law. A country without a lawyer system and a lawyer system does not have the rule of law. It is of great significance to improve the defense lawyer's right to investigate and collect evidence. Its improvement will not only help protect the substantive rights of defense lawyers and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, but also help promote the balance between prosecution and defense, and help achieve judicial fairness and justice.
