(1) lawyer
Career path: paralegal → lawyer → partner of the firm.
Professional status: As a socially recognized high-income class, lawyers are a symbol of identity and status. After joining WTO, lawyers are one of the biggest beneficiaries. The career prospects of lawyers who know English and international law are very promising. However, due to the oversupply of domestic law undergraduates, the social recognition of the quality of law undergraduates has declined, and the employment situation is not very good, but the demand for outstanding graduates, especially graduate students, is still relatively large.
Salary level: The lawyer's income can be calculated in two ways. One way is to get paid, the firm pays, and the lawyer is responsible for the lawsuit. According to the ability, those with high annual salary can get 300 thousand yuan or even millions of yuan, while those with low annual salary are only 6.5438+0 million yuan. The other is that lawyers don't get paid, but they are affiliated with law firms, and lawyers have to find their own clients. According to the business commission, it generally ranges from 30% to 70%. Moreover, according to the special differences in economic law, labor law and intellectual property rights, the income will be different. Generally speaking, a young trainee lawyer costs about 1000 yuan a month. With the accumulation of experience and the increase of case sources, income is directly linked to personal ability. After a few years, it is normal to be different.
An old horse knows the way: the first problem to be solved is to pass the national judicial examination. This exam is generally registered in July and tested in September every year. Its biggest feature is difficulty and low pass rate. In 2003, nearly 200,000 people took the exam, and * *17,000 people crossed the line, with a passing rate of 10%. The passing rate in 2004 was 1 1.22%. There is a huge amount of review materials for judicial examination, and there are many knowledge points in memory. In the final analysis, it is who is the most resilient and who can bear hardships. Making a review plan depends on the implementation. No matter how difficult it is, it should be completed to the letter. Generally speaking, it is reasonable to plan to finish the exam in two years. Since you can only apply for a practice certificate after one year of internship, you can find a law firm to hang up for another year after getting the certificate, and you can directly engage in lawyer practice after graduation.
Followed by work experience. Law is a secular subject, and many teachers in the field of law will be involved in legal practice. In other words, if you have the opportunity to win the favor of teachers and help them "do odd jobs" during college, you will have the most valuable internship experience in job hunting when you graduate. Postgraduates, in particular, have high professional standards and have more contact with tutors at ordinary times, so they can make full use of the conditions to accumulate experience. If your teacher is not the kind of person who has one foot in the sea and one foot in the boat, you can also ask them to introduce you. They must have many classmates and friends who run offices. In addition, during my spare time, I will go to some law firms and the legal departments of foreign companies for part-time jobs (internships), which will greatly help me find a job after graduation. If I do well, I may stay there after graduation.
Sometimes, a teacher is an expert or even an authority in a certain field, and he will have a lot of resources, which is a rare commodity. Pay more attention and communication at ordinary times. I want to go to a law firm after graduation. If they are willing to introduce you, it is much better than casting a net all over the sky.
Finally, if you don't pass the judicial examination when you graduate, you still have a chance. The position of paralegal does not have to have a qualification certificate. You may still have a chance to fight for it.
