When can criminal defense lawyers exercise the right to read papers at the earliest?

The date of examination and prosecution by the people's procuratorate.

In the stage of examination and prosecution, lawyers also have another important right-the right to read papers. In other words, you can consult, extract and copy the case files, including litigation documents, evidence materials and expert opinions, so as to fully grasp the case. Because the case has not yet entered the trial stage, it is relatively easier to recover if there is an error in the case at this stage.

Precautions:

The principle of careful contact with people who have conflicts of interest with the parties. Victims, close relatives of victims, lawyers hired by victims, witnesses provided by victims, etc. They are all people that defense lawyers should contact carefully. Some are even inviolable minefields. Lawyers can't just do things by kindness. Lawyers should know that conscience is easily betrayed.

Criminal defense lawyers should be aware of this. Only by strictly relying on legal means can the rights and interests of the parties be protected. Otherwise, it will hurt the client and possibly the lawyer. As a lawyer, don't trust anyone's promise beyond the essence and form of law.
