Do lawyers have no connections, and even security is a problem?

1, my teacher has a classmate who is a lawyer. He told me that it is impossible to do this job without connections. I'm confused. Why?

In Chinese mainland, lawyers may need to get the source of a case through various contacts.

I see many barristers on TV are middle-aged. Does it mean that even if you have a lawyer qualification certificate, you will have to be a senior paralegal for many years in the future, which means that the golden age of this industry will be after 40 years old?

: not necessarily. Everything depends on people.

Lawyers on TV are all beautiful professions. What about reality? I'm talking about ordinary big cities.

Tv drama is an artistic process, in fact, lawyers need to work hard.

4. What are the main work directions of university law graduation?

The counterpart is the public security and inspection law department, and of course many people go to other departments.

5. Is it necessary to go abroad for further study in law? For example, if an individual is a law graduate from a prestigious school in high flyers, is it better to directly enter the social workplace and start learning and developing contacts, or to continue studying abroad?

The laws of China are different from those of other countries. Further study, of course, is mainly to study economic law.

Supplement to the question:

6. Many people who are very successful in business and politics have law degrees. Does this mean that while studying law, they should also choose other majors to enhance their personal competitiveness? For example, many people say that they study law, minor in economy and trade, or switch from law to economics when they are undergraduates. Is this feasible?

If you have this ability, you can go for it.
