The conditions for investigation and evidence collection are as follows:
1. There are no legal obstacles for defense lawyers to investigate and collect evidence. There are two provisions on the right of defense lawyers to investigate and collect evidence: one is to allow lawyers to investigate and collect evidence like common law countries, which can be called "positive legislative model"; Another country, like civil law countries, does not stipulate whether lawyers can investigate and collect evidence in law, but it does not prohibit lawyers from investigating and collecting evidence in practice, and the evidence obtained will not be excluded as illegal evidence, which can be called "negative legislative model".
2. Defense lawyers have the ability to investigate and collect evidence. Legislation alone does not necessarily prompt lawyers to investigate and collect evidence, and lawyers must have the ability to investigate and collect evidence. As some scholars have said, criminal evidence collection itself is a highly professional activity, not a lawyer's specialty. Lawyers are good at how to measure and choose the value of evidence, or put forward opinions that suspects and defendants are innocent, lighter and less punished according to the collected evidence. It is not their specialty to carry out criminal evidence collection, just as it is often difficult for an excellent prosecutor to become an excellent investigator.
3. Defence lawyers have the motivation to investigate and collect evidence. The investigation and evidence collection of defense lawyers is very popular in the adversarial trial mode, which is determined by the characteristics of litigation. The adversarial litigation mode is a procedure dominated by the parties themselves. In order to pursue the beneficial litigation results, all parties should try their best to collect evidence in the litigation process.
To sum up, the lawyer's right to investigate and collect evidence is the right that lawyers enjoy in the process of carrying out lawyer's business activities to investigate, understand the relevant situation and collect and obtain relevant evidence.
Legal basis:
Article 35 of the Lawyers Law of People's Republic of China (PRC)
The entrusted lawyer may, according to the needs of the case, apply to the people's procuratorate or the people's court to collect and obtain evidence or apply to the people's court to notify witnesses to testify in court.
If a lawyer investigates and collects evidence by himself, he may, with the lawyer's practice certificate and the certificate of the law firm, investigate the situation related to undertaking legal affairs with the relevant units or individuals.
