What Does a Forgery Attorney Do?

Article 306 of China's Criminal Law stipulates that in criminal proceedings, it is a crime for defenders and litigation agents to destroy evidence or falsify evidence, help parties to destroy or falsify evidence, and threaten or seduce witnesses to change their testimony or perjure against the facts. Acts shall be punished. This is the so-called "lawyer's perjury". In fact, the real criminal law is called the defender's crime of obstructing testimony. Li Zhuang, a well-known lawyer in Beijing, was sentenced for this crime.

Lawyer perjury

According to Article 306 of China's Criminal Law, in criminal proceedings,

As Beijing lawyer Li Zhuang was arrested for perjury, defense lawyers in the Chongqing hacking case were pushed to the dock.

Earlier, the media disclosed Li Zhuang's various misdeeds, believing that he was a "black lawyer" with a "fishing money" and a "black lawyer" with a single hand, and was a black sheep in the legal profession. The Li Zhuang case triggered a crisis of professional reputation of 130,000 lawyers across the country.

In recent years, the rate of defense in criminal cases has not been regressed, and the number of criminal defense lawyers has decreased. As a result, the defendant's right to defense has been seriously shrinking, leading to injustices. The Lizhuang case has once again caused controversy over whether Article 306 of the Criminal Law is "evil law" or "good regulation." ^[2]
