Different positioning: the lawyer on duty provides legal help for suspects and defendants who make money from crimes free of charge. The lawyer on duty does not provide "defense", but only "legal help". Therefore, the lawyer on duty has no status as a defender, only as a legal helper. Ordinary lawyers provide legal services free of charge and have the status of defenders.
Legal objectivity:
Article 11 of the Regulations on Legal Aid in Criminal Procedure: A citizen may apply for legal aid from a legal aid institution: (1) A criminal suspect fails to hire a lawyer due to financial difficulties after being interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or from the date when compulsory measures are taken; (2) The victim of a public prosecution case and his legal representative or close relatives have not entrusted an agent ad litem due to financial difficulties since the date when the case was transferred for examination and prosecution; (three) since the case of private prosecution was accepted by the people's court, the private prosecutor and his legal representative have not entrusted an agent ad litem due to financial difficulties.
