Legal analysis: It depends. There are two kinds of files in China courts: one volume and two volumes. It is a long-term working principle of the people's courts at all levels to keep the supplementary volumes of the court strictly confidential and prohibit consulting them. If it is a criminal case, the defendant's criminal case investigation file is not allowed to be viewed by his family, but the defense lawyer entrusted by the defendant's family can go to the court with the relevant entrustment procedures and the certificate of the law firm, and the court will allow him to view the file and copy it in an appropriate way for the lawyer to use when preparing the case. But all defense lawyers can see is that the court is rolling.
