Защитник
Защитник — человек, который оказывает юридическую помощь подозреваемому или обвиняемому по уголовному делу или человеку, в отношении которого ведется производство по делу об административном правонарушении. Защитник по уголовному делу должен быть адвокатом, но иногда суд может допустить “общественного защитника” без адвокатского статуса (например, родственника) наряду с профессиональным защитником. Защитником по делу об административном правонарушении может быть любой человек независимо от наличия у него статуса адвоката и юридического образования.
