share
The media’s supervision of the judiciary has always been controversial. When lawyers are handling cases in practice, many parties or defendants’ families ask lawyers to expose the case to the media in the hope of using the power of the media to influence the judgment of the case. There are also some lawyers who are keen to disclose the facts of the case in the media and hype the case. to achieve personal goals. With the rise of national self-media in recent years, lawyers are increasingly disclosing case information on online media. Article 38 of the "Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Practice" clearly stipulates:
(2) Make distorted and misleading publicity and comments about the cases that I or other lawyers are handling, and maliciously hype the cases;
(3) Creating public pressure, attacking and slandering judicial organs and the judicial system by forming groups, signing signatures, publishing open letters, organizing online gatherings, expressing support, etc., or in the name of case studies ;
(4) Violating regulations to disclose or disseminate information and materials that are not open to trial cases, or important information and evidence materials about the case that I or other lawyers learned during the handling of the case.
Lawyers can disclose case information to the public during the trial stage, but Faster Lawyer recommends that lawyers keep state secrets, business secrets, and personal privacy involved in the case. The information disclosed should be objective and fair to avoid malicious speculation that could lead to anger. Lawyers should be cautious about the information disclosed before the case goes to public trial.
