Legal objectivity:
Lawyer's practice in handling criminal cases is very risky. The risk of criminal defense and agency business can make a famous barrister a prisoner and an excellent criminal lawyer have his practice license revoked. However, lawyers handling cases will stand on the cusp of violating professional ethics or practice discipline, will be complained by the parties, will be punished by lawyers, and will be compensated for their professional mistakes. Therefore, if criminal lawyers want to avoid putting themselves in an unbearable position, they must pay attention to the practice risk prevention of criminal defense and agency business.
In addition to general risks such as traffic accidents and personal accidents, the professional risks of lawyers in handling criminal cases mainly come from several aspects. First, the risks brought by lawyers' irregular practice; second, the risks brought by the parties and their families to lawyers handling criminal cases; third, the risks brought by the opposing parties and their families; and finally, the risks brought by criminal investigation, procuratorial organs and their staff to criminal lawyers.
