Legal analysis: lawyers go to the archives department with the procedures entrusted by the parties, usually to the archives department of the court. Sometimes, the court archives department will also agree with lawyers to read the papers, but often only allow lawyers to consult the original trial volume, but not the public security investigation files. Although the parties and lawyers can consult the criminal case file, they can only consult the original volume. The main volume here refers to the main volume of the test paper, excluding the auxiliary volume. The supplementary volume is mainly the internal materials of the case-handling organ.
Legal basis: Article 38 of the Lawyers Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), lawyers should keep state secrets and business secrets they know in their practice activities, and may not disclose the privacy of their clients. Lawyers should keep confidential the relevant information and materials that their clients and others are unwilling to disclose in their practice activities. However, criminal facts and information that endanger national security, public safety and seriously endanger the personal safety of others are being prepared or implemented by the client or others.
