1. After a criminal case is put on file, the criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide legal assistance from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken. In order to fully protect this right of criminal suspects, investigators should inform criminal suspects that they have the right to entrust lawyers during interrogation. Detention is a compulsory measure, so once detained, you can seek help from a lawyer as soon as possible. 2. In cases of crimes endangering national security, terrorist activities and particularly serious bribery crimes, defense lawyers shall obtain permission from the investigation organ when meeting with criminal suspects in custody during the investigation. So, which cases belong to cases involving state secrets? A case involving state secrets means that the case or the nature of the case involves state secrets, that is, the objective situation of the case itself and the relevant contents involved in the crime involve state secrets. For example, criminal suspects illegally obtain state secrets by means of stealing, spying, buying, etc., and state employees disclose state secrets in violation of the provisions of the Law on Guarding State Secrets. Some cases may involve state secrets. For example, the suspect was taken compulsory measures for alleged espionage. Because this kind of crime is a crime that seriously endangers national security, specific cases may involve state secrets, so it belongs to cases involving state secrets. In practice, it should also be noted that not all cases involving state secrets are not allowed to hire lawyers, but should be approved by the investigation organ according to the specific circumstances of the case.
Legal objectivity:
Article 34 of the Criminal Procedure Law: A criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or takes compulsory measures. During the investigation, only lawyers can be entrusted as defenders. The defendant has the right to entrust a defender at any time. When interrogating a criminal suspect for the first time or taking compulsory measures against him, the investigation organ shall inform him that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's procuratorate shall, within three days from the date of receiving the case materials transferred for examination and prosecution, inform the criminal suspect that he has the right to entrust a defender. The people's court shall, within three days from the date of accepting the case, inform the defendant of the right to entrust a defender. If a criminal suspect or defendant requests to entrust a defender while in custody, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall promptly convey it. If a criminal suspect or defendant is in custody, his guardian or near relative may also entrust a defender. After accepting the entrustment of a criminal suspect or defendant, the defender shall promptly inform the case-handling organ. Article 35 If a criminal suspect or defendant fails to appoint a defender due to financial difficulties or other reasons, he or his near relatives may apply to a legal aid institution. To meet the conditions of legal aid, legal aid institutions shall appoint lawyers to defend them. If the criminal suspect or defendant is a mental patient who is blind, deaf, dumb or has not completely lost the ability to identify or control his own behavior, and has not entrusted a defender, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall notify the legal aid institution to appoint a lawyer to defend him. If a criminal suspect or defendant may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death without entrusting a defender, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall notify the legal aid institution to appoint a lawyer to defend him.
