A lawyer refers to a practitioner who has obtained a lawyer's practice certificate according to law, accepts entrustment or assignment, and provides legal services to the parties. In addition to systematic legal study, lawyers also have to take the legal examination (formerly called the judicial examination, later called the lawyer examination). Only by passing the exam can they obtain legal practice qualification, and then they will have to practice in a law firm for one year before they can become practicing lawyers.
According to Articles 11 and 12 of the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Practice, lawyers are divided into full-time lawyers and part-time lawyers. Full-time lawyers and part-time lawyers enjoy the same rights and assume the same obligations when performing their duties as lawyers.
The qualities and abilities required by lawyers;
1, learning ability. Lawyers are an industry that needs continuous learning. With the development of social economy and national legal system, the legal service demand and legal service environment faced by lawyers are constantly changing, and they need to constantly learn new laws, regulations and legal theories, constantly update their professional knowledge base and improve their professional level.
2. compression resistance. Lawyers are a high-pressure profession. On the one hand, the pressure of lawyers comes from the work itself, for example, several clients suddenly have something urgent to deal with in one day, or a case or project requires lawyers to complete a lot of work in a short time.
