Lawyers may consult, extract and copy the case file from the date when the people's procuratorate examines and prosecutes the case.
Under normal circumstances, the procuratorate shall transfer the case to the public security organ for prosecution within one month, and the major and complicated cases may be extended for half a month. After accepting a case, the court shall pronounce a judgment within two months after accepting it, and no later than three months. Cases that may be sentenced to death may be extended for three months with the approval of the president of our hospital. If it is necessary to extend the period due to special circumstances, it shall be reported to the Supreme People's Court for approval.
Therefore, the legal period of the case from the date of examination and prosecution to the end of the trial is four months or more.
