Why is criminal defense the cradle of lawyers' fame?

As an important part of judicial system and criminal procedure system, criminal defense can be traced back to ancient Rome. The system is rooted in the concept of "respecting human dignity", emphasizing that criminal suspects and defendants are presumed innocent before being convicted by legal procedures, but they enjoy litigation rights such as the right to defense. They can entrust lawyers or other defenders to participate in criminal proceedings, fully exercise their right of defense, confront the procuratorial organs on an equal footing and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. This system has played an active role in forming a complete litigation structure, identifying the truth of the case, realizing procedural justice and improving litigation efficiency.
