According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a criminal suspect may entrust others to defend himself during the review and prosecution by the people's procuratorate and the trial by the people's court. There are two ways for criminal suspects to exercise their right of defense in criminal proceedings, one is self-defense and the other is entrusted defense. Therefore, lawyers can defend themselves.

Moreover, lawyers will defend themselves with ease when the evidence is favorable in the process of defending themselves. Can better retell the case and make a complete analysis, so in the process of defense, we should judge according to our own situation.
