Quick Summary

In criminal cases, an accused individual is generally permitted to hire as many lawyers as they wish to defend themselves. However, while multiple advocates can be engaged, typically only one will be allowed to make submissions or argue the case before the court. The ultimate decision on how many lawyers to hire rests with the accused.

Hello,

As per my opinion accused any number of advocates to defend his case. However, the court will not allow more than one advocate to make a submission to the court.
