Interview lawyers are witnessed in many countries overseas, but in Japan, police and prosecutors rarely approve of investigations and other reasons.
Under these circumstances, the Osaka Bar Association will create a common proposal that asks lawyers to be present when investigating people who have not been arrested against the investigation authorities on the 18th, and distribute it to all lawyers belonging to the association. I decided.
The offer form stipulates that there is no provision to deny criminal litigation law regarding the presence of lawyers, so that the person to be examined can exercise the confidentiality guaranteed by the constitution and receive the necessary advice on the spot I stress that it should be.
In addition, we will distribute handbooks that summarize how to negotiate with investigative authorities and cases where we were able to witness them, and will call on them to seek witnesses in all future cases.
