Lawyers can only consult the case when the court is in session, because the case file involves the secrets of investigation and the secrets of the case. As a non-public security organ, lawyers are not qualified to consult cases, and they can only consult them with permission in court. This is also for the justice of the case. Since the criminal suspect is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken, the entrusted lawyer has the right to meet the criminal suspect and defendant with the lawyer's practice certificate, law firm certificate, power of attorney or legal aid letter to learn about the relevant case. Lawyers are not monitored when they meet criminal suspects and defendants. When a defense lawyer meets a criminal suspect or defendant in custody, he can understand the case; From the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution, the relevant evidence may be verified with the criminal suspect or defendant. Defense lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects and defendants.
