One is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants.
In criminal proceedings, criminal suspects or defendants often face serious charges, and their legitimate rights and interests are easily violated. As a public prosecution organ, the procuratorate has the responsibility to prosecute crimes, but it also has the responsibility to safeguard judicial justice and protect the legitimate rights and interests of defendants. Therefore, when handling cases, procuratorial organs will actively seek suitable lawyers for criminal suspects or defendants to ensure that they get adequate legal help and defense in the process of criminal proceedings.
Second, ensure judicial justice and legal procedures.
As legal professionals, lawyers have profound legal knowledge and rich practical experience, and can provide professional legal advice and defense for criminal suspects or defendants. It is helpful for the procuratorate to find a lawyer for the defendant to ensure judicial justice and legal procedures. The participation of lawyers can supervise the actions of procuratorates and courts in criminal proceedings and prevent abuse of power and violation of procedures. At the same time, lawyers can also help the defendant to understand the nature, charges, evidence and other related circumstances of the case and help the defendant make an informed decision.
Third, promote a fair trial of cases.
The participation of lawyers can make the trial of cases more fair, objective and comprehensive. Lawyers will conduct in-depth research and analysis of the case and put forward defense opinions and evidence in favor of the defendant. This helps the court to fully understand the facts of the case and avoid one-sided subjective judgment. At the same time, lawyers can also assist the defendant in the follow-up legal procedures such as appeals and appeals to ensure that the defendant's legitimate rights and interests are guaranteed to the greatest extent.
To sum up, the procuratorate seeks lawyers mainly to protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects or defendants and ensure judicial justice and legal procedures. The participation of lawyers is conducive to the fair trial of cases and prevents abuse of power and violation of procedures.
