According to the ACÓRDÃO DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL DE JUSTIÇA N.º 15/2016 – DIÁRIO DA REPÚBLICA N.º 233/2016, SÉRIE I DE 2016-12-06105322392 the lawyer offended in the criminal process can not represent himself. In this respect, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that “In accordance with article 70, paragraph 1, of the Code of Criminal Procedure, an offended person who is a lawyer and intends to become an assistant in criminal proceedings must be represented By another lawyer. ‘ It seems to us a bad solution that contradicts the Statute of the Law Bar Association as pointed out by the judge who voted against.
