Do lawyers need a certificate of resignation when they change jobs after their internship expires?

Need. According to the provisions of China's "Lawyers Law", lawyers need to pass the judicial examination and register for practice after the internship expires before they can obtain the qualification of practicing lawyers. In this process, if an intern lawyer wants to change jobs or find a new job, he usually needs to provide a certificate of resignation. Specifically, the resignation certificate is a document issued by the former employer to prove that the employee has resigned. The general resignation certificate shall at least include the following contents: employee's name, ID number, resignation date, job position, working hours, company official seal, etc. This information can be used as proof materials for intern lawyers to prove their work experience and ability to new employers. It should be noted that different regions and different law firms may have different specific requirements for resignation certificates. It is suggested that intern lawyers communicate with the management of their law firm before leaving to understand the specific resignation process and requirements.
