The Criminal Law Process in Singapore

Criminal law is a complex combination of various laws that protects the people’s right to live in peace and security. Singapore has an excellent judicial process for apprehending, trying and bestowing verdicts to individuals accused of criminal offences. It is therefore critical to have a criminal lawyer when you are requested to attend a court or presented a warrant of arrest. For a clearer insight of what a criminal lawyer need to do for you, here’s the process of the criminal law trial:

• The crime is reported
• The police will conductinvestigate and draw “persons of interest”
• The police will request these people to attend an interview for investigation. This is where you may bring a criminal lawyer to oversee and protect your rights.
• A pre-trial is conducted to know whether your case is bailable or not. Again, you will need a criminal lawyer to accompany you at this stage.
• If a trial proceeds, your criminal lawyer will represent you in the court until the judge’s verdict is served.
• The criminal lawyer may also make an appeal should the verdict not go in your favour.
