I think the question of whether I can accept criminal cases is mainly whether I can qualify as a lawyer. Lawyers who are qualified as lawyers and registered in law firms may take over criminal cases and appear in court as defenders.
With regard to the qualification of lawyers, since 2002, China has uniformly implemented the national judicial examination system, and new judges, prosecutors and lawyers must pass the national judicial examination. The qualifications for the judicial examination are:
Persons who meet the following conditions may sign up for the national judicial examination:
(1) Having China nationality;
(two) support the constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC), enjoy the right to vote and be elected;
(3) Having full capacity for civil conduct;
(4) Having graduated from an institution of higher learning with a bachelor's degree in law or a non-law major with legal expertise;
(5) Good conduct.
In any of the following circumstances, you can't sign up for the national judicial examination, and if you have gone through the registration procedures, the registration is invalid:
(1) Having received criminal punishment for intentional crime;
(2) Being expelled from public office by a state organ or having his lawyer's practice certificate or notary's practice certificate revoked;
(three) was sentenced to two years shall not sign up for the national judicial examination, or was sentenced to life shall not sign up for the national judicial examination.
As can be seen from the above provisions, Hong Kong citizens can register for reference as long as they meet the registration conditions for the national judicial examination. After passing the examination, you can obtain the qualification of lawyer and register to practice in mainland law firms.
Attached are the detailed provisions on the national judicial examination in Baidu Encyclopedia, hoping to help you fully understand the relevant system. lGswt-UP2DU
