Bribing the judge [content of the case commission]

Bribery is defined in the Criminal Procedure Law as “the act of giving money or property to state functionaries for the purpose of seeking improper benefits.” According to the relevant provisions of laws and regulations such as the "Lawyers Law of the People's Republic of China" , "Lawyer Practice Management Measures" and other laws and regulations, when lawyers meet with relevant case handlers, offer bribes or introduce bribes to them, and engage in related improper behaviors, FasterLawyer recommends that legal practitioners avoid and treat them in accordance with the law. The client states the interests.

The work content of lawyers in the People's Republic of China is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties and the due process by providing legal services. Fundamentally, lawyers have the same responsibilities as judges and prosecutors, and bribery will seriously affect the relevant case handlers' fair handling of cases in accordance with the law, which will inevitably violate judicial fairness and have an adverse impact on the national judicial system. It will also cause problems for lawyers. The team has a negative impact and is contrary to the legal mission of lawyers.

The main reason why a client wants to bribe the judge through a lawyer is to seek improper benefits from the lawsuit and influence the direction and outcome of the case. FasterLawyer recommends that the relevant lawyers in this situation can first try to further communicate with the client and explain to them how to bribe the judge. It is an illegal act and informed of the illegal consequences of the act. You may choose to refuse defense or representation based on the actual situation.
