Article 33 A criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender in a case of public prosecution from the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution. The defendant in a case of private prosecution has the right to entrust a defender at any time.
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 a case of private prosecution, inform the defendant that he has the right to entrust a defender.
Article 36 From the date when the people's procuratorate examines and prosecutes a case, the defense lawyer may consult, extract and copy the litigation documents and technical appraisal materials of the case, and may meet and correspond with the criminal suspect in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the People's Procuratorate, may also consult, extract and copy the above-mentioned materials, and meet and correspond with criminal suspects in custody.
Since the people's court accepted the case, the defense lawyer can consult, extract and copy the materials of the alleged criminal facts in this case, and can meet and correspond with the defendant in custody. With the permission of the people's court, other defenders may also consult, extract and copy the above materials, and meet and correspond with the defendant in custody.
Second, when the parties are taken compulsory measures by the public security organs, it is best to ask a lawyer, so that lawyers can enter the case earlier and understand the specific case, which is conducive to helping the parties to protect their rights.
Article 75 If a criminal suspect, defendant, his legal representative, close relatives or lawyers entrusted by him take compulsory measures against a people's court, a people's procuratorate or a public security organ beyond the statutory time limit, he shall have the right to demand that the compulsory measures be lifted. The people's court, the people's procuratorate or the public security organ shall release the criminal suspect or defendant whose compulsory measures have exceeded the statutory time limit, obtain bail pending trial, monitor his residence or change the compulsory measures according to law.
