According to the provisions of Article 32 of the Criminal Procedure Law, a criminal suspect or defendant may entrust one or two persons as defenders in addition to exercising the right of defense. Defender defense system is conducive to public security and judicial organs to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants. In criminal proceedings, because criminal suspects and defendants are in the position of being prosecuted, their personal freedom is often restricted, and they can't fully and deeply understand the case, and they can't collect evidence materials that are beneficial to them, so it is difficult to exercise their right to self-defense; On the other hand, most criminal suspects and defendants lack legal knowledge, do not know what litigation rights they enjoy, how to exercise these rights, and do not know the legal consequences of their actions. Therefore, most criminal suspects and defendants cannot correctly use the law to defend themselves in order to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Defenders are mainly defense lawyers, who have both legal knowledge and extensive litigation rights, and can fully and concretely understand the case. At the same time, defense lawyers have rich defense experience and skillful litigation skills, which can help criminal suspects and defendants correctly exercise their defense rights, thus protecting their legitimate rights and interests more effectively.
