Can the lawyer who questioned the witness be present?

Legal analysis: lawyers are not allowed to be present when questioning witnesses. According to the relevant laws, questioning witnesses and victims should be conducted separately. However, if a minor witness or victim is questioned, his legal representative may be notified to be present. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the questioning of witnesses should be conducted in accordance with the corresponding regulations, and no lawyer is allowed to be present, so as not to mislead witnesses and interfere with the process of handling cases by judicial organs.

Legal basis: Article 124 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), investigators may question witnesses on the spot or at the unit, residence or place proposed by the witness. When necessary, the witness may be notified to testify in a people's procuratorate or a public security organ. When questioning witnesses on the spot, they should show their work certificates, and when questioning witnesses at their units, residences or places proposed by witnesses, they should show their certificates from people's procuratorates or public security organs. The questioning of witnesses should be conducted separately.
