Criminal cases are transferred to the procuratorate. Do lawyers communicate with family members or prisoners?
Family. According to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Lawyers, lawyers can communicate with their families when they obtain the defendant's materials about the facts of the crime. Criminal cases refer to cases in which criminal suspects and defendants are accused of violating social relations protected by criminal law, and the state conducts investigation, trial and criminal sanctions in order to investigate the criminal responsibility of criminal suspects and defendants.
