Defend civil cases. Should I be a lawyer? Criminal cases must be lawyers, right?

According to the law, civil litigation is an agent and criminal litigation is a defender. Both the defender and the agent participate in the litigation in order to safeguard the interests of the client, and have no direct legal interest in the consequences of handling the case. You can entrust a lawyer or a citizen recommended by a relevant social organization. The specific provisions are as follows:

1. Article 58 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that the parties and their legal representatives may entrust one or two persons as agents ad litem.

The following persons may be entrusted as agents ad litem:

(1) Lawyers and grassroots legal service workers;

(2) Close relatives or staff members of the parties concerned;

(three) citizens recommended by the community, units and relevant social groups where the parties are located.

2. Article 32 of the Criminal Procedure Law: A criminal suspect or defendant may entrust one or two persons as defenders in addition to exercising their right of defense. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders:

(1) lawyers;

(2) A person recommended by a people's organization or the unit to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs;

(3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants.

A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender.
