As an important part of my country's legal aid system, the basic principles and framework of my country's criminal legal aid system were originally established in the Criminal Procedure Law revised by the National People's Congress in 1996 and the Lawyers Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Among them, the "Criminal Procedure Law" establishes two basic principles of general criminal legal aid based on economic status and two basic principles of special criminal legal aid. That is, if the defendant is blind, deaf, mute, a minor, or may be sentenced to death without entrusting a defender, the people's court shall designate a lawyer with legal aid obligations to provide him with a defense. The Lawyers Law establishes three important principles. First, citizens have the right to obtain legal aid; second, lawyers’ legal aid obligations are established; and third, the legal aid function belongs to the judicial administration department. , the State Council promulgated my country's first legal aid administrative regulations - the "Legal Aid Regulations", marking the formal establishment of my country's criminal legal aid system. As a young legal system, it inevitably has many imperfections, such as the narrow coverage of criminal legal aid and the poor connection between legal aid agencies and the public prosecutor and the law in criminal legal aid cases. In view of this, this article attempts to think about ways to further improve our country's criminal legal aid system by analyzing the shortcomings of our country's current criminal legal aid system.
