It depends. Criminal public prosecution cases are all prosecuted by the procuratorate. Generally speaking, the victim does not need to hire a lawyer to defend himself. However, if the victim feels it necessary to hire a lawyer to defend his rights, he can also hire a lawyer himself. The general court will not arrange it. In the incidental civil part of a criminal case, the victim will usually hire a lawyer to protect the rights of the parties.
A public prosecution case, that is, a criminal prosecution case, refers to a case in which procuratorial organs at all levels investigate the criminal responsibility of the defendant on behalf of the state in accordance with the relevant provisions of the law.
1. Meet the criminal suspect, find out the evidence clues of his guilt or innocence, collect evidence, and prepare relevant application materials for changing compulsory measures.
2. Make an appointment with the judge and consult and copy the complaint documents and materials.
3. Exchange opinions with the defendant on the defense viewpoint initially formed by the lawyer, and inform the defendant of the trial procedure and matters needing attention.
4, combined with the actual situation of the case, not guilty or lighter defense, try to win the judge's approval of the defense point of view.
Legal basis: Article 35 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If a criminal suspect or defendant fails to entrust a defender due to financial difficulties or other reasons, he or his close relatives may apply to a legal aid institution. To meet the conditions of legal aid, legal aid institutions shall appoint lawyers to defend them. If the criminal suspect or defendant is a mental patient who is blind, deaf, dumb or has not completely lost the ability to identify or control his own behavior, and has not entrusted a defender, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall notify the legal aid institution to appoint a lawyer to defend him. If a criminal suspect or defendant may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death without entrusting a defender, the people's court, the people's procuratorate and the public security organ shall notify the legal aid institution to appoint a lawyer to defend him.
