On July 12, JAVY Law Firm's Chongqing branch hosted a professional training session focused on the "Understanding and Application of Article 13's Proviso in Criminal Defense." The session was led by Dr. Yan Feng, a seasoned lawyer with nearly 20 years of experience and deep expertise in criminal law.
Dr. Yan's presentation centered on the crucial "proviso" in Article 13 of the Criminal Law's General Principles. He emphasized its significance in the legal system, particularly in distinguishing between criminal and non-criminal acts, making it a key element in defense work.
To illustrate the application of this clause, Dr. Yan analyzed a recent drunk driving case from Foshan. He highlighted the need to consider various factors, such as the defendant's intent, methods, and the resulting harm when determining whether the proviso applies. He also stressed the importance of distinguishing between "generally minor" and "significantly minor" circumstances to avoid errors in legal defense.
Dr. Yan concluded by urging young lawyers to apply the proviso with caution and to continually enhance their legal skills and experience. The session provided valuable insights and fostered professional development for the attending lawyers.
