Compared with the employment difficulty of some majors such as economics and finance, the employment outlet of international law is narrow. Even graduates from key universities have not entered the legal system for various reasons. The main reason is that the quality of legal talents is very high in society, and the courts, law firms and other relevant legal departments can't accept such an influx of students, and most of them can only change careers after graduation.
Law majors have high requirements for talents' quality and academic qualifications. They should not only have good professional ethics and quality, but also have profound professional knowledge background and interdisciplinary industry knowledge. In recent years, with the higher education requirements for legal talents, the employment situation of law undergraduates is not optimistic. However, highly educated law graduates, especially those majoring in economics and international communication, have broad employment prospects.

030 105 civil and commercial law

Especially since China joined the WTO, the demand for legal professionals has increased sharply, especially for economic organizations and law firms.
(B) closely related to life
Civil and commercial law covers a wide range and is closely related to our daily life. For example, when signing a contract in business, you should understand the contract law and the labor law when there is a dispute with your work unit. In addition, marriage and family law, social law and commercial law, which study marriage and family problems, all belong to the category of civil and commercial law. Studying civil and commercial law can also help you understand why laws should be made and learn how to deal with events and problems according to law.
030 106 litigation law
Procedural law belongs to procedural law in essence. In the west, because "due process" is the most fundamental legal principle of justice, procedural law is favored. In China, with the advancement of democracy and the rule of law, the status of procedural law has been paid more and more attention. Litigation law is a legal discipline that is most closely related to judicial practice. The trained talents not only have a solid theoretical foundation, but also have the advantages of strong practical work ability and quick results, and have always been the sought-after "darling" of the judicial department.
030 103 constitution and administrative law
1. The development of society has increased the demand for legal talents.
With the development of national economy, science and technology and society, China's legal system construction is also in a period of rapid development and gradual improvement. The cause of socialist modernization needs not only the constitution, criminal law, civil law, criminal procedure law, civil procedure law and economic law, but also the urgent need to speed up the formulation or revision of administrative regulations, strengthen the study of administrative law, do a good job in the construction and system reform of state organs, so that state organs can better implement the principle of democratic centralism and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of their work. Make our state organs and their staff become organs and staff members who are in close contact with the masses, serve the people, and are efficient, fair and honest. Especially since China's entry into WTO, the social demand for legal professionals has increased sharply, especially for economic organizations and law firms. At the same time, it also puts forward new standards and requirements for cultivating high-level legal talents in colleges and universities.
In the face of employment pressure, everything depends on people's efforts.
At present, employment pressure is a common phenomenon. But if you are interested in constitutional law and administrative law, and then study hard during college, then the employment prospects are also very good. The employment prospect of law is not bad, but many law students are not easy to learn and have poor knowledge, so they will be confused in employment.
Secondly, the demand for legal talents in society is generally high, and undergraduates are not very recognized. Therefore, if you want to make progress in law and take it as your future employment destination, you should prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination and learn knowledge well during your college years.
030 104 criminal law
(1) Professional knowledge of criminal law meets the needs of social development, and talents with professional knowledge of criminal law are even more needed in the new situation. Demand is reflected in the following aspects:
1, China's accession to international human rights conventions, WTO and western development in the new century, the reform and development countermeasures of China's criminal law under the new situation;
2. Penal reform in China, especially the death penalty reform;
3. New crimes, especially new economic crimes, cyber crimes and other judicial countermeasures need to be solved urgently.
(2) The enrollment expansion of colleges and universities and the traditional concept of employment make it difficult for law graduates to find jobs.
On the one hand, law major is regarded as a hot major, so its graduates are on the rise. On the other hand, the social demand for talents began to change from pure technical talents to compound talents. Comprehensive and compound talents are the mainstream direction of talent demand in modern society, and employers also prefer graduates with strong comprehensive quality. After China's entry into WTO, the rapidly growing market demand has put forward higher requirements for legal practitioners. In the complicated international economic activities, it is necessary to master the comprehensive knowledge of economy, international trade, enterprise management, foreign languages, etc., which has caused a large number of graduates to find satisfactory jobs, which requires students to learn well, specialize and improve their comprehensive quality during their school days. At present, the examination of civil servants is still the only channel for law graduates to enter the political and legal departments for employment. Due to the limited positions, dozens of applicants often compete for a position, which will inevitably lead to the elimination of most graduates.
Judging from the nature of employment units, party and government organs are still the first choice for law graduates, followed by enterprises and institutions, accounting for nearly 70% of the total demand. At the same time, the number of people who choose to go to the army, customs, armed police frontier defense and other units is also increasing year by year. However, due to institutional reform and personnel streamlining, these units are greatly reducing the demand for personnel, leading to oversupply in some employers.
