The scope of legal workers. With the implementation of the strategy of "ruling the country according to law and building a socialist country ruled by law", the legal profession has increasingly become one of the hottest professions in our society. To be sure, the scope of legal workers belongs to a kind of legal profession. Judges, prosecutors, lawyers and notaries belong to the traditional legal profession, so do civil servants who are engaged in the examination of administrative punishment decisions, administrative reconsideration and administrative adjudication. Newcomers need to obtain legal professional qualification certificates and build a complete legal service system. We will promote the construction of a public legal service system covering urban and rural residents and strengthen legal services in the field of people's livelihood. Improve the legal aid system, expand the scope of assistance, improve the judicial assistance system, and ensure that the people get timely and effective legal help when they encounter legal problems or their rights are violated. Because the current scale of lawyers in our country can not fully meet the actual needs, both the Civil Procedure Law and the Administrative Procedure Law stipulate that the parties and legal representatives can entrust one or two persons as litigation agents. The following persons may be entrusted as agents ad litem: (1) Lawyers and grassroots legal service workers. The lawyers here are legal service personnel.
