Can I change lawyers in the second instance?

Legal analysis: Yes. If you need a lawyer after the hearing, you can hire another lawyer for the following reasons:

1. After the first hearing, it is still possible to hold a second or third hearing. If the trial is held again, the entrusted lawyer can participate in the trial and protect the legitimate rights and interests as much as possible.

2. If the court decides directly after the trial, the entrusted lawyer can analyze the case and judgment in detail. If you are dissatisfied with the court's decision, your entrusted lawyer can appeal on your behalf, participate in the second instance proceedings and safeguard your rights and interests.

Legal basis: Article 132 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) may postpone the trial under any of the following circumstances:

1. The parties who must appear in court and other participants in the proceedings do not appear in court without justifiable reasons;

2. The party temporarily applies for withdrawal;

3. It is necessary to notify new witnesses to appear in court, obtain new evidence, re-identify, conduct an inquest, or supplement the investigation;

4. Other circumstances that should be postponed.
