Legal basis: provisions on lawyers meeting prisoners in prison.
Article 5 When a lawyer needs to meet a prisoner in custody, he may submit a copy of the following materials to the prison where the prisoner is located by fax, mail or direct submission, and present the original to the prison on the day of the meeting:
(1) Lawyer's practice certificate;
(2) the certificate of the law firm;
(3) the power of attorney of the criminal himself or his guardian or close relatives, the official letter of legal aid or the relevant supporting documents for investigation and evidence collection in another case.
The prison shall keep the original certificate issued by the law firm that the lawyer met with the prisoner in custody.
If the guardian or near relative of a criminal entrusts a lawyer to represent him, the lawyer shall confirm to the criminal himself whether to establish an entrusted relationship at the first meeting.
Article 6 If a lawyer needs an assistant to attend a meeting with a prisoner in custody, he shall submit to the prison a certificate of the assistant meeting with the prisoner and a lawyer's practice certificate issued by a law firm or an application for a lawyer's practice certificate.
