Parents have criminal records, can children be lawyers?

Legal analysis: Just because parents have a criminal record does not mean that it will affect their children's political review of civil servants. As long as it is not a criminal case, serving a sentence in prison only has a criminal record and will not affect them. This is the parents' own business, not the children's. It will not affect their children's political examination of civil servants, schooling and joining the party. There is no problem at all.

Legal basis: Article 286 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If he was under the age of 18 at the time of committing the crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, the relevant criminal records shall be sealed.

If the criminal record is sealed, it shall not be provided to any unit or individual, except for the need of judicial organs to handle cases or the relevant units to make inquiries in accordance with state regulations. Units that inquire according to law shall keep the sealed criminal records confidential.
