The first is the theory book. In order to form a complete knowledge system, for example, when it comes to the validity of a contract, it is necessary to immediately think about the validity, invalidity, changeability, revocation, and pending validity of the contract. A complete knowledge system will prevent you from missing important legal ideas easily. You can read one or two classic textbooks for this kind of book.
The second one is the exercise book. It is recommended to read more case collections and gain true knowledge through practice. It's difficult to read the view bar alone, let alone have a deep appreciation for it. Cases will make you interested, look deeper, understand, and remember.
The third is business books. To be a good lawyer, you should know your clients and what they are doing. Non-litigation lawyers need to understand the business environment of the entire transaction, and litigation lawyers need to know what the client's fundamental business demands are. Obviously, knowing the law is not enough. With only legal knowledge and no business background, it is often impossible to judge which party is more beneficial to a clause in practice. It is recommended to read financial articles frequently and read one or two financial magazines regularly to help accumulate.
Finally, a book of feelings. Being a lawyer is human nature, and a good lawyer must gain the trust of his clients. There are different ways to open the door to trust between people, and it takes experience to explore. I encountered two small things recently. A friend learned during a chat that his child was named "Hoshino". I asked if it meant "the stars tilted down from the open space and the moon ran up from the river". Another client, whose WeChat name is "Dongfeng Yefang", happens to be my favorite "Jade Box Yuanxi" by Xin Qiji. "Thousands of trees are blown down even more by the east wind at night, the stars are like rain, and the roads are full of BMWs and cars." "People are looking for him all over the place, but suddenly looking back, he is there, in the dim light." My clients and I both like it. A poem or two suddenly brought the distance closer. When it comes to this part of recommended books, it’s actually hard for me to explain clearly, and I’m constantly supplementing them through reading. However, it certainly does not hurt to be a good lawyer to read widely outside the professional field.
Finally, if you agree with the point of view, please start with a like and push the answer up so that more friends can see it.
