A trainee lawyer usually needs to pass the national judicial examination to obtain a lawyer's qualification certificate after completing his legal studies, and can only be called a registered lawyer after obtaining the practice qualification. Before obtaining the lawyer qualification certificate, a trainee lawyer is usually regarded as an intern or assistant in the lawyer industry and cannot practice independently. Trainee lawyers do not have independent professional status as lawyers, and cannot express themselves as lawyers in public, publicity materials or business exchanges, otherwise they may violate the law and cause legal risks and adverse effects to themselves and the law firm.
Internship lawyers may gain the trust and support of friends and get consulting opportunities. In this case, if a trainee lawyer calls himself a lawyer, it may give a friend an inaccurate impression and lead to misunderstanding.
