Excuse me, lawyer: Can being a lawyer really safeguard justice?

Presumably, what you encounter is the problem of criminal law, which gives you the idea of discussing and safeguarding justice.

Here I need to briefly explain the following points to you:

First, justice is based on morality, and the judgment of justice is determined by the mainstream morality of society, but legitimacy and justice are similar but not the same. Lawyers can only put forward their own defense opinions on the person's behavior, so as to clear up the grievances or excuse the person and safeguard the victim's own rights. A lawyer's professional ethics requires him to be responsible for his client, not too much justice and evil.

Second, maintaining social justice is beyond the control of lawyers. For criminal offences, filing a case is the public security organ, prosecution is the procuratorial organ and trial is the court. If all departments handle cases in strict accordance with legal procedures, there will be fewer unjust, false and misjudged cases, but sometimes people who are harmful to society will have no choice but to let go because of the imperfect laws. But on the whole, it can basically maintain social justice! Among them, the procuratorial organ is not only a public prosecution organ, but also has the power of legal supervision. It has the right to supervise the illegal handling of cases by public security organs and the unfair trial of courts, and can make procuratorial suggestions to the public security and protest against court decisions.

Third, lawyers are under great pressure to survive. Lawyers who earn more money mainly engage in litigation, mainly listed companies. There are very few lawyers who really do big criminal cases. Even if they do, they can't spend a lot of time and energy on an ordinary small case. Because law firms and lawyers have a proportional share, the income of lawyers is closely related to the number and amount of cases they receive. Therefore, people die for money, birds die for food, and it is no exaggeration to use it on lawyers. Moreover, a considerable number of lawyers now teach criminal suspects to retract their confessions, prompting witnesses to commit perjury and so on.

The above three points, I just want to tell you that lawyers can have a sense of justice, but they cannot be the subject of justice and are subject to many restrictions.
