Sifatong [2000]No. 102
The judicial departments (bureaus) of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the Judicial Bureau of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps:
In order to cooperate with the implementation of the Criminal Procedure Law, on February 20th 1996, the Ministry issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Document Format of Criminal Litigants (for Trial Implementation). According to the development and perfection of judicial practice, in order to further improve the format of these documents to meet the needs of lawyers' business, we have learned about the situation in the past few years and adjusted and revised the original format. The new format is hereby printed and distributed to you. Please distribute this document format to all law firms. The new file format will be used on July 1 2006.
Explanation on Modifying the Format of Criminal Procedure Documents
The new document format has been fully demonstrated by the Criminal Business Committee of the National Lawyers Association, and the draft of "Lawyers Use Document Format in Criminal Proceedings (Trial)" issued by the Ministry of Justice 1996 has been formed. The relevant matters are now explained as follows:
A, there is a *** 19 document format, namely:
1. Letter from law firm (submitted to the investigation organ)
2 official letter of law firm (submitted to procuratorial organs and judicial organs)
3. Letters from law firms (used for agency activities in criminal proceedings)
4. Entrustment agreement for providing legal aid to criminal suspects
5. Power of Attorney (used to review the prosecution and trial stage)
6. Designation of defense
7. Entrustment agreement
8. Special letter of introduction for meeting criminal suspects and defendants.
9. Letter requesting to meet with the criminal suspect in custody
10. Agency entrustment agreement
1 1. power of attorney (used for agency activities in criminal proceedings)
12. application for meeting with criminal suspects in custody (cases involving state secrets)
13. Application for collection and collection of evidence
14. Application for investigation and evidence collection
15. Application for notifying witnesses to appear in court
16. application for lifting compulsory measures
17. Application for adjournment of hearing
18. Application for re-appraisal and inspection
19. Power of Attorney (investigation stage)
The former 18 document format mentioned above is formed by merging, modifying and supplementing the original document format, and the 19 document format is newly added.
Second, due to the different problems faced by lawyers in handling cases, it is difficult to unify the formats of some documents. Therefore, the following situations no longer require a unified file format, and the original format style is still used for reference only. These reference formats are: criminal private prosecution, criminal private prosecution counterclaim, criminal appeal, criminal defense, indictment and indictment.
Three, absorbed the opinions of the public security organs, in order to facilitate the filing of documents, the new document format should be unified according to 16 open paper printing (excluding stub margins).
