According to the relevant provisions of China's Lawyers Law, obtaining evidence is one of lawyers' rights. Lawyers can investigate and handle case-related information, including personal information, by virtue of their qualification certificates and certificates from their firm. However, there is no such right at ordinary times. Only those who are related to the case dispute can apply to the public security organ or show personal information related to the case to other organizations.
Procedures for lawyers to investigate and obtain personal files:
1. The applicant shall submit the application materials for practicing license to the Lawyers' Work Section of the Municipal Bureau of Justice, and the accepting personnel shall conduct preliminary examination;
2, the admissibility of personnel from the date of acceptance to complete the preliminary examination of the application materials, and the filing opinions and all the application materials submitted to the Provincial Department of justice.
To sum up, lawyers should keep confidential the relevant information and materials that their clients and others are unwilling to disclose in their practice activities.
