Article 36 Defense lawyers, from the date of the people's procuratorate's examination and prosecution of the case, may inspect, excerpt, and copy the case's litigation documents and technical identification materials, and may meet and correspond with the criminal suspect in custody. Other defenders may, with the permission of the people's procuratorate, inspect, extract and copy the above materials, and meet and correspond with the criminal suspect in custody. During the trial stage of the court, the defense counsel may inspect, excerpt and copy the "materials on the facts of the crime charged in the case", and may meet and correspond with the defendant in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's court, may also inspect, extract and copy the above materials, and may meet and correspond with the defendant in custody.
Article 37 A defense counsel may, with the consent of witnesses or other relevant units and individuals, collect from them materials relating to the case, or apply to the people's procuratorate or the people's court for the collection and retrieval of evidence. With the permission of the people's procuratorate or the people's court, and with the consent of the victim or his or her close relatives, or of the witnesses provided by the victim, the defence counsel may collect from them materials relevant to the case. Other defenders do not have this right.
Article 139 The people's procuratorate shall hear the opinion of the person entrusted by the suspect when examining the case. In other words, the defender commissioned by the criminal suspect has the right to defend his client at the stage of examination and prosecution, and the people's procuratorate shall listen to him.
Article 180 The defendant's counsel, with the consent of the defendant, may file an appeal. To this end, the people's court of first instance shall promptly serve the verdict on the defendant's advocate in order to prevent any restriction on the exercise of this right by the advocate.
Article 75 A criminal suspect or defendant, his or her legal representative or close relatives, or a lawyer or other defender entrusted by the criminal suspect or defendant to a people's court, people's procuratorate or public security organ to take coercive measures exceeding the legal time limit, shall have the right to request the lifting of the coercive measures. The people's court, the people's procuratorate or the public security organs of the criminal suspect, the defendant shall be taken to take compulsory measures beyond the statutory period of time shall be released, discharged, residential surveillance or change the compulsory measures in accordance with the law.
