After a criminal case is concluded, do the parties have the right to review the case?

Parties to criminal cases do not have the right to inspect files. According to the relevant provisions of my country's Criminal Procedure Law, generally speaking, parties involved in criminal cases are not allowed to consult file information, and can only be consulted by attorneys.

After the criminal case is concluded, the parties cannot copy the case file. Only the defense lawyer or other defenders can copy the case file materials to exercise their defense rights during the review and prosecution period. After the criminal case is concluded, two situations can be distinguished as to whether the parties have the right to review the case. The first is when the criminal judgment has not yet taken effect and the defendant has been released, and the defendant does not have the right to directly review the case. Second, the criminal judgment has taken effect and the defendant has been released. He can go to the court to review the litigation files, but only the main file can be reviewed and copied.

Article 38 of the "Criminal Procedure Law" stipulates that defense lawyers may consult, excerpt, and copy the file materials of this case from the date of review of prosecution by the People's Procuratorate. Other defenders may also consult, excerpt, and copy the above-mentioned materials with the permission of the People's Court and People's Procuratorate.
