What should I do if the defense lawyer does not appear in court?

Legal analysis: go to the local bar association to report that the annual review of lawyers is the responsibility of the bar association and is supervised by the bar association.

Legal basis: Article 23 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law establishes and improves the systems of practice management, conflict of interest review, expense financial management, complaint investigation, annual assessment and file management, and supervises lawyers to abide by professional ethics and practice discipline in their practice activities.
