What can I do to become an excellent trainee lawyer?

In court, before the court debate stage, when you are ready to eloquently explain the legal issues of the case, the judge will rudely interrupt you and laugh at you as a rookie in your heart; When providing legal advice to clients, teachers will remind you not to say things you shouldn't, otherwise your career will not produce any value. If you have the opportunity to stay with teachers, you will find that teachers speak on different occasions, although they may or may not be eloquent. In fact, in court, in the office of the parties, in various social occasions, the real masters are not necessarily those guys who talk a lot. Judges, leaders and clients may attach more importance to beating the floor and keeping promises. So, as a good paralegal or a good trainee lawyer, what problems should we pay attention to?

Do not openly talk about the affairs entrusted by the parties.

Before the trial, when you are in the waiting corridor, remember not to share the case with your colleagues. This kind of communication includes asking about the preparation of the case, calling for the opinions of the parties who did not appear in court, asking other colleagues if they have acquaintances in our hospital, and what is the telephone number of the presiding judge, etc. Because maybe it's the other lawyer who is not far from you, and your words will leak into his ears verbatim.

In a client's company, you may have the task of drafting an important document, but in a small company, there are many eyes and ears, and you don't know who is who. In public, by the way, you may not know that your document has not been published, and the countermeasures for this draft have been browsed by everyone on the company intranet.

In the office, please don't casually talk to colleagues about the entrustment you or your teacher got, even if it is only a trivial case in your opinion, because your job is not to collect and publish gossip about the Li family in JiaHe Zhang.

For the client, if his lawyer is a tight-lipped person, then such a person can at least be trusted. If he is also capable, then this lawyer is the one who can be entrusted for life. There is a saying that you should remember and run through the whole process of practice, that is: the truth does not spread to Liu Er.

Do not publicly evaluate the parties

There will be all kinds of people coming to your teacher's office, even if your teacher sets the scope of agency cases and the types of clients. You may complain about this customer because he is smart and stingy; Or you think the person in charge is despicable and extremely disgusted with him; Or colleagues are gloomy and insidious, but they are doubly wary of him. In short, when you face these parties, you always hope that you have some special skills, which can make you close to the virtuous and stay away from the villains.

Professional lawyers always have style but no personality when dealing with clients. Even if they disagree with clients' personality and philosophy of life, they never make public comments, which will not affect the quality of legal services. Lawyers use the law to serve their clients. In a sense, lawyers can be regarded as law.
