Lawyer's letter citation refers to a professional legal document made and issued by a lawyer to disclose and evaluate relevant facts or legal issues and then make a request in order to achieve a certain effect. A lawyer uses a lawyer's letter to make a legal evaluation and risk assessment of a fact, with the purpose of informing the client of the legal facts with the legal scale and the lawyer's judgment, so that the client can get his own "legal evaluation", that is, "conveying the law to express his own meaning". Its essence is a legal act of entrusting an agent to express his will, which plays an important role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the parties.
The first part of the lawyer's letter
The first part of a lawyer's letter generally consists of three parts: specifically, the title, the signal and the recipient.
1. Title
A complete and standardized title of a lawyer's letter generally consists of three parts: the full name of the dispatched law firm, the main idea of the lawyer's letter and the text of the lawyer's letter. These three parts can be displayed in three lines, not one line, otherwise the title is too long, the main idea is not prominent, and it is not beautiful enough. For example, a lawyer's letter from a law firm in Shanghai about company A immediately paying the project payment and returning the deposit.
In practice, the title of lawyer's letter is mostly simple, with only the word "lawyer's letter". This expression is not specific, clear and professional. The most basic requirement of the title is to express the main idea of the lawyer's letter, so that readers can clearly know what the sender wants the receiver to do through the title.
2. Letter numbering
The basic structure of lawyer's letter number is: (year number)+abbreviation of administrative division where issuing law firm is located+abbreviation of issuing law firm+nature of legal documents, that is, lawyer's letter abbreviation+number ×××. For example, (20 1×) Shanghai× method signal * *. The number××× generally has two expressions: 1. According to the total number of letters sent by law firms or lawyers. For example, the 50th lawyer's letter this year can be expressed as the 50th ... 2. Write according to the date of sending. For example, a letter sent on 20 13 1.4 can be expressed as No. 20 130 104. The problem with this expression is that if more than one lawyer's letter is sent on the same day, it will be difficult to manage, and the final signature of the lawyer's letter itself will take time to complete. Choose a convenient one according to your own habits.
3. Target audience
The service object is the organ, unit or individual that accepts the lawyer's letter. In order to show respect for the recipient, the recipient should use the full name, and it is not allowed to omit or use irregular abbreviations. When the client is an individual, it is necessary to add Mr. or Ms. after the name.
