Maintaining the fairness and justice of justice, upholding the rule of law and other values, are in adherence to the position of criminal defense after the effect that should arise; from another perspective, because of adherence to the position to achieve a comprehensive and effective criminal defense, is itself an integral part of fairness and justice, but also the basic signs of the rule of law. The criminal defense, there are actually multiple perspectives. First, the nature of criminal defense for lawyers has a duality: criminal defense is both career and occupation, as a cause, the need is to dedication; as a profession, should consider is to make a living. Both have their own value. Secondly, as far as the system design is concerned, criminal defense has three forms: entrusted defense, designated defense (legal aid) and duty lawyer's legal help, recognizing this multiple perspectives, aiming to solve the contradictions it may produce, so as to set up the legal status of the progression, the function of the compatibility in order to solve properly.

In the lawyer system into the development period and the rule of law process into the accelerated period of the times, enhance the quality of the defense is the whole society's needs and expectations, and the criminal defense specialization is to enhance the quality of the defense of the road. The professionalism of criminal defense is embodied in the theory and skills of the two levels, the theory is the foundation, skills are the means. Specialized criminal defense lawyers must have a high theoretical level of the main business direction, the principles of the discipline, the principles to eat accurate, eat thoroughly, for the specific problems of the case to be able to integrate, learn from one to three. Only in this way, in order to solve the complex problems faced in the practical operation. Weak theoretical foundation of the person, it is impossible to become a high-level criminal defense lawyers.

Exquisite criminal defense skills are the embodiment of the professionalization of criminal defense.
