In criminal cases, lawyers play a very important role in the stage of examination and prosecution.
Lawyers play a greater role in criminal cases for the following reasons: 1. According to the current law, the work of defense lawyers in the stage of examination and prosecution includes: consulting, extracting and copying the litigation documents and technical appraisal materials in this case. 2. After accepting the entrustment, the lawyer should first understand the case. Therefore, mastering the first-hand materials of the case and being familiar with the basic case is the first step to perform the defense function. Consulting, extracting and copying the litigation documents and technical appraisal materials of this case is an important way to understand the case.
Article 28 of the current Lawyers Law stipulates that lawyers may engage in the following businesses: 1. Accepting the entrustment of natural persons, legal persons or other organizations to serve as legal advisers; 2, accept the entrustment of the parties in civil cases and administrative cases, as agents, to participate in litigation; 3. Accept the entrustment of criminal suspects and defendants in criminal cases or the assignment of legal aid agencies as defenders, accept the entrustment of private prosecutors in private prosecution cases, victims in public prosecution cases or their close relatives as agents and participate in litigation; 4. Accept the entrustment and represent the complaints of various litigation cases; 5. Accept the entrustment and participate in mediation and arbitration activities.
Therefore, in criminal cases, it is suggested that the parties entrust lawyers to conduct litigation.
