The lawyer's duty is:
1. Protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties,
Two. Maintain the correct implementation of the Constitution and laws.
Third, safeguard social fairness and justice.
First of all, lawyers safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties. Not to defend justice. The criminal suspect in a criminal case is helpless in the face of compulsory measures by state violence organs. At this time, lawyers are the people who protect their legitimate rights and interests to the maximum extent and provide the greatest help to criminal suspects.
For example, Fujian Nianbin murder case. He was sentenced to death four times, and finally the defense lawyer intervened. Through defense lawyers, we have done a lot of marking, investigation and evidence collection. Defense lawyers use their legal knowledge and logical reasoning ability to turn the facts and evidence they have into powerful legal evidence for defense. It was pointed out in court that the contradiction between the prosecution's evidence could not be regarded as Nian Bin's murder. Let the judge make sure that bin's murder evidence is insufficient. In the end, according to the principle that there is no doubt, the judge made a verdict that Nian Bin was not guilty! This is the first time in the history of rule of law in China.
Secondly, defense lawyers are legal practitioners who safeguard the correct implementation of the Constitution and laws. Let's talk about Nianbin's murder. Most people don't understand. People will say: What? A bad man who defends a murderer knowing that he is a bad man will not be a good lawyer, let alone a good man. For defense lawyers, this is also a very difficult, sad and controversial profession.
Fortunately, national laws also stipulate the lawyer system. The role of criminal lawyers has been affirmed, and the law clearly stipulates that criminal cases must be defended by lawyers. Through inquiry, investigation and evidence collection, the defense lawyers of Nianbin murder case can expose the illegal and even criminal acts of extorting confessions by torture in court. Nian Bin was scarred enough to prove that Nian Bin's confession of murder was typed. Put an end to wrongs and wrongs. So as to ensure the correct implementation of the Constitution and laws.
Finally, safeguard social fairness and justice. The process in which a lawyer accepts the entrustment of a criminal suspect to defend his client. It is not only a process of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, but also a process of ensuring the correct implementation of the Constitution and laws. In practice, lawyers stop, reduce and avoid the damage to criminal suspects according to facts, laws and evidence, which is also the process of pursuing justice, so as to realize social fairness and justice.
It can be seen from the above three points that lawyers do not defend justice. But by defending the parties, pursuing judicial justice and safeguarding social fairness and justice.
