It is different for a lawyer to communicate with a criminal suspect or defendant or inform them of the contents of the case file, and it is different for a lawyer to directly provide a legally copied case file material to a criminal suspect or defendant.
Lawyers' right of defense comes from criminal suspects and defendants, which does not mean that lawyers enjoy the litigation rights of criminal suspects and defendants.
The file materials copied by lawyers shall not be provided to criminal suspects and defendants for reading, and their scope is limited.
The Lawyers Law stipulates that the entrusted lawyer has the right to consult, extract and copy the litigation documents and files related to this case from the date when the files are transferred for examination and prosecution. From the date of hearing, he has the right to consult, extract and copy all materials related to the case.
