According to the Law on Lawyers, a lawyer is a practitioner who obtains a lawyer's practice certificate according to law and provides legal services to the society. A person who has not obtained a lawyer's practice certificate shall not practice in the name of a lawyer, nor shall he engage in litigation agency or defense business for the purpose of seeking economic benefits. That is to say, only those who hold a lawyer's practice license are lawyers, and those who hold a lawyer's qualification certificate or a legal professional qualification certificate or an enterprise legal adviser's certificate or a legal service worker's certificate or a legal personnel's practice certificate are not lawyers.
