Is the fact or the interests of the client the most important thing for a lawyer?
I must clearly express my position: what is more important is the interests of customers. The reason is simple, because it is a question of system design. Only when the public security, prosecutors, judges and lawyers all perform their duties and do their best can justice be safeguarded to the greatest extent, and any party who is not in its position to seek its own politics may lead to disorder. We should believe that legislators are smarter than us. Based on thousands of years of judicial practice and experience accumulation, they should not only prevent the parties from practicing fraud and breaking the law and committing crimes, but also prevent the public prosecution organs from going their own way and extorting confessions by torture, and prevent judges from abusing their powers and upholding justice. Lawmakers will not give all their trust to one party or even one person, but achieve a fair balance through checks and balances between all parties. The requirement of legal order for lawyers is to help clients as much as possible within the legal framework, make up for their lack of legal knowledge, better protect and realize clients' rights, and at the same time promote litigation. Of course, in this process, lawyers can't practice fraud or break the law, that is, they must abide by the rules of the game, otherwise they will be punished by the rules. For example, in criminal matters, according to the first paragraph of Article 306 of the Criminal Law, "In criminal proceedings, defenders and agents ad litem who destroy or falsify evidence, help the parties to destroy or falsify evidence, threaten or induce witnesses to change their testimony of facts or commit perjury shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years. " This article is called "The Sword of Damocles Hanging over Lawyers", and it is said that there are 100 criminal defense lawyers in the prison; In civil affairs, according to the principle of good faith in civil litigation, false litigation is prohibited, and it is forbidden to delay or delay in litigation, and it is forbidden to repeatedly ask the trial judge to withdraw without justifiable reasons.
