The 63-year-old met her lawyer yesterday at the notorious prison where she has been held since last week on charges of violating house arrest by sheltering an American man who swam across a lake to her residence.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner faces up to five years in jail if convicted on the charges, which would keep her behind bars during controversial elections planned by Burma's generals for next year.
A spokesman for her National League for Democracy party said she had discussed the case when lawyer Kyi Win visited Insein prison near Rangoon.
The trial is expected to take place inside the jail.
Aung Thein, another lawyer for the party who applied to represent her at the trial, said on Saturday that he had been disbarred by the authorities a day earlier.
Burma has faced global pressure to free Aung San Suu Kyi and drop the charges, which were filed less than two weeks before the latest period of her detention was due to expire.
She has spent 13 of the last 19 years under house arrest.
However the regime on Saturday released her doctor, Tin Myo Win, nearly two weeks after he was held while trying to get access to her following the incident with US national John Yettaw.
Tin Myo Win was arrested on 7 May as he tried to give medical care to Aung San Suu Kyi following the bizarre visit by the American, which has since led to the opposition leader being charged with breaching her house arrest.
According to a family member Tin Myo Win was released from detention on Saturday and his health is good.
His release comes days after the US government demanded that Burma's military rulers should grant Tin Myo Win 'immediate' access to see the 63-year-old Aung San Suu Kyi, amid fears for her health.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate was placed on an intravenous drip at her house on Friday by Tin Myo Win's medical assistant because she could not eat, had low blood pressure and was dehydrated.
Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party said it was also aware of the development but said it has not had any contact with the doctor yet.
It was not clear if Tin Myo Win would be allowed to visit Aung San Suu Kyi at Insein prison near.
