What do lawyers need?

According to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Lawyers (revised 20 17), a lawyer refers to a practitioner who has obtained a lawyer's practice certificate according to law, accepted entrustment or assignment, and provided legal services to clients. A person who has not obtained a lawyer's practice certificate may not engage in legal services in the name of a lawyer; Unless otherwise provided by law, they shall not engage in litigation agency or defense business.

So how can we get a lawyer's practice license and become a formal and legal lawyer?

(a) support the constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC);

(2) Obtaining the legal professional qualification through the national unified legal professional qualification examination;

The judicial administrative departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall, within 10 days from the date of receiving the submitted materials, conduct an examination and make a decision on whether to approve the practice. If the practice is approved, the lawyer's practice certificate shall be issued to the applicant; If it is not allowed to practice, it shall explain the reasons in writing to the applicant.
