In a criminal case, can the client disagree with the counsel?

Can't protect the interests of the client. In judicial practice, it often happens that the defendant and the defender disagree. For example, the defendant pleads guilty in court, but the defender insists on pleading not guilty in court. Some even have direct conflicts with the defendant, or the defendant refuses to continue to defend him, or the defender leaves angrily. In order to be "famous" or "grandstanding", individual defense lawyers insisted on defending the opinions of the defendant regardless of the interests of the defendant. The legal cat found this unimaginable in foreign criminal defense. Professor Chen Ruihua pointed out that "from the first day when the lawyer system in ancient Rome came into being, lawyers were required to be loyal to the clients' interests, which was the most basic professional ethics, while the development of the lawyer system in China was extremely disproportionate to the concept of defense", and Tian Wenchang's lawyer also believed that these phenomena reflected people's misunderstanding of the positioning of criminal defense responsibilities. "Cognitive errors are widespread in the theoretical and practical circles in China, so that some lawyers continue to stick to their opinions and boost their spirits when they conflict with the defendant's opinions in the trial. This understanding completely violates the basic requirements of lawyers' duties. It is time to correct this misunderstanding. Our lawyers can't make such low-level mistakes again, and they can't defend against the client's subjective will on the grounds of independently exercising the right of defense. "
