Meeting with lawyers refers to an activity in which lawyers listen to the opinions and excuses of criminal suspects or defendants on alleged crimes and related cases in order to better provide legal help to criminal suspects and better defend them.
Article 37 of the Criminal Procedure Law and Article 48 of the Criminal Procedure Rules of the People's Procuratorate stipulate that, from the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution, the defense lawyer may meet with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, learn about the case from the criminal suspect or defendant and verify relevant evidence.
