First of all, the lawyer asked the client to see if the file constituted a crime.
The files obtained by lawyers can be read by the parties themselves, but not by their families. If the client himself requests to make copies or take photos after reading it, the lawyer shall refuse.
However, when a lawyer acts as a defender for a criminal defendant, it does not constitute the crime of intentionally revealing state secrets to let the relatives of the parties consult the case evidence materials obtained through legal procedures.
Second, the lawyer to check the relevant knowledge of the file
Except for the materials involving state secrets and the internal materials of the court (such as the transcripts of the collegiate bench), all other file materials can be consulted. Generally speaking, we mainly grasp the following contents:
(1) indictment review. Focus on what crime is charged, the motive, purpose, time, place, means, circumstances and consequences of the crime, the position and role of the defendant in the crime, the severity of the crime, whether there is a lighter, mitigated or exempted punishment, and whether there is criminal responsibility. Review whether the legal provisions cited in the indictment are appropriate, etc.
(2) Review the evidence list and witness list. Lawyers can roughly understand the evidence system and types of the case by consulting the evidence catalogue and witness list, and check the relationship between the "main evidence" materials collected and the evidence materials that have not been collected to prove the facts of the case. Through the list of witnesses listed by the procuratorate, we can understand the role of other witnesses in proving the facts of this case, and through meeting with the defendant, we can understand how to carry out the investigation and collection of these evidences and witnesses' evidence beneficial to the defendant.
(3) Review of photocopies and photos of main evidence. Through the review of the main evidence, we can know whether the evidence of the defendant's conviction in this case is sufficient and true, which evidence has doubts and contradictions, so as to classify and exclude it, which evidence needs to be investigated and verified immediately, which evidence needs to be met with the defendant and which evidence needs to be verified during court investigation.
Third, the specific specifications of the document
After the investigation of criminal cases is completed, all files shall be sorted and bound according to the regulations. All files refer to all legal documents and evidential materials related to the case. Legal documents, including legal documents for external use and legal documents for internal approval. Evidence materials, including evidence materials that prove the criminal suspect's guilt, guilt, innocence and lighter punishment. It is strictly prohibited to conceal, tamper with or destroy the documents and materials that should be included in the volume.
Documents and materials irrelevant to the case shall not be included in the case file.
(2) The legal documents and evidential materials stored in criminal files must be documents and materials made or collected in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Provisions of Public Security Organs on Handling Criminal Cases. Documents and evidence materials that do not conform to the law or are not produced and collected in accordance with legal procedures shall be corrected and given a reasonable explanation or explanation, otherwise they shall not be used as evidence.
The above gives you a detailed introduction about whether it is a crime for a lawyer to show the file to the client. According to the relevant regulations, the files obtained by lawyers can be shown to the parties themselves, but the families of the parties cannot. If the client requests to copy or take photos after reading it himself, the lawyer shall refuse. If you have any legal problems, I suggest you consult a professional lawyer.
