Will the court inform the family members when a criminal case is heard without a lawyer?

1. If it is a juvenile criminal case, according to the provisions of Article 270 of the Criminal Procedure Law, before the court session, the court shall notify the legal representative of the juvenile defendant to participate in the proceedings.

Second, if it is not a juvenile criminal case, the Criminal Procedure Law does not stipulate that the court should notify the defendant's family. In practice, the court generally does not inform the defendant's family to participate in the proceedings.

Article 270 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the legal representatives of juvenile criminal suspects and defendants shall be notified to be present when interrogating and trying juvenile criminal cases. If it is impossible to notify, the legal representative cannot be present, or the legal representative commits a crime of * * *, other adult relatives of the juvenile suspect or defendant, and representatives of the school, unit, grass-roots organization or minor protection organization in the place of residence can also be notified to be present, and relevant information can be recorded.

The legal representative present may exercise the litigation rights of juvenile criminal suspects and defendants on his behalf. If the legal representative or other persons present believe that the case-handling personnel have infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of minors during interrogation and trial, they may make comments. The interrogation record and the court record shall be handed over to the legal representative or other persons present for reading or reading. When interrogating female juvenile criminal suspects, there should be female staff present.

Extended data:

Civil cases generally follow the principle of non-litigation, that is, the parties do not take the initiative to raise it with the state judicial organs, and the state judicial organs generally do not intervene in disputes between the parties. In criminal cases, the national criminal judicial organs usually take the initiative to intervene. After the victim or the masses report the case, the public security and procuratorial organs will intervene in the investigation. Then the people's procuratorate prosecuted the defendant on behalf of the state, and the court, as a judge of the law, conducted a fair trial to achieve the criminal law purpose of punishing criminals and protecting the people.

Article 182 of the Criminal Procedure Law: After the people's court determines the date of the court session, it shall notify the people's procuratorate of the time and place of the court session, summon the parties, and notify the defenders, agents ad litem, witnesses, expert witnesses and translators. Summons and notices should be served at least three days before the court session.
