In the aspect of career planning, Mr. Wang suggested that law students should make a scientific and reasonable plan for their college stage during their college study, and conduct self-test through evaluation institutions and evaluation software. Taking Huaiyin Normal University as an example, the Admissions and Employment Office organizes lectures and career planning competitions every year to guide college students to make scientific and reasonable life planning.
In acquiring knowledge, in addition to listening to the teacher's lectures and carefully reading the textbooks, we should also do a lot of extracurricular reading to expand our knowledge. We can read the textbooks of case teaching, understand the knowledge points through cases and cultivate legal thinking. Not only books on law, but also books on business management, success, psychology, sociology and public relations; Listen to lectures and speeches as much as possible, not only in law, but also in management, because every speech is the essence of the speaker's life and is of great help to personal promotion.
Second, the way out for employment.
(a) through the civil service examination to enter the judicial organs
In recent years, the number of civil servants recruited by judicial organs has gradually increased, but compared with the increasing number of law graduates year by year, it is still very small, and the examination is difficult, and the admission ratio is low, showing the phenomenon that everyone crosses the "single-plank bridge"; However, as long as you are carefully prepared and full of confidence, the chances of being admitted to the civil service are great. Take the law department of Huaiyin Normal University as an example. In recent years, the proportion of law departments admitted to civil servants has increased year by year. There were 43 graduates in 2007, and 9 of them were admitted to civil servants, accounting for 2 1%. This is inseparable from the law department's emphasis on students' professional skills and civil service examinations. Every year on the eve of the civil service examination, the law department will give a "big training" to civil servants by inviting experts.
(2) Step into the society and be a complete legal person.
Influenced by the general environment, some law schools will not consider recruiting applicants if they fail the judicial examination and cannot bring them the source of the case. But for newly graduated students, I'm afraid only a few can have a case source. How do fresh law graduates knock on the door of law firms? Lawyer Wang suggested that there are still some law firms and lawyers in China to attract more cases by doing every case well. Law students should look for such a law firm and follow such a lawyer. Because he serves his clients with legal knowledge, he won't worry about you stealing his clients, but he will worry that your level is not good enough, your progress is not fast enough, and you can't cooperate with him.
In many people's eyes, a lawyer is a "beautiful-looking" profession: high salary and honesty. However, a survey released not long ago revealed the hardships of life hidden under the glamorous appearance of many lawyers. The survey report jointly completed by South China Normal University and Guangzhou Lawyers Association in 1 shows that among the lawyers surveyed 1 17, the proportion of low-income lawyers with annual income below 30,000 yuan is 35%, and 90% of lawyers have disposable income below 200,000 yuan.
Because the lawyer's business itself has the characteristics of diversity and complexity, it requires high attention, responsibility and personal ability of practitioners. High-intensity, fast-paced and fierce competition makes many lawyers lack rest and exercise, which leads to physical and mental health crisis. The results of a joint survey conducted by the Law School of South China Normal University and Guangzhou Lawyers Association show that 67% of lawyers sleep less than 7 hours a day, 66% participate in sports activities for less than 3 hours a day, and 17% of lawyers have no time to participate in sports activities.
(3) Engaged in teaching and scientific research.
The advantages of teaching and research institutions are stability and regular life. However, lawyer Wang believes that law students should enter the society if given the opportunity. In the real society, most teachers go directly from school to school, and they don't know enough about social life, and scientific research is out of touch with practice. Therefore, it may not be a good choice to become a complete legal person and work in a teaching and research institution.
(d) Being a "marginal person" in law.
Legally, the employment direction of "marginal people" mainly includes media and companies. As far as the media is concerned, the following issues should be considered when recruiting legal talents to work in legal departments, such as legal program hosts and legal editors: the ability to combine writing skills with legal basis, that is, the ability to comprehensively control legal knowledge; Personality can be quiet; Strong mobility, we should seriously consider our direction and way out after four or five years. Compared with the media, many lawyers said that companies and enterprises are good choices: enterprises recruit more legal talents. By working in an enterprise, for example, as a legal adviser, you can understand the operation mode of the enterprise, then try to pass the judicial examination, keep close contact with lawyers, judges and other legal practitioners, and then switch to the legal profession after reaching certain conditions. On the other hand, they can gradually transform into enterprise management talents and take the road of "official"
