The so-called litigation lawyer refers to a lawyer who engages in legal litigation activities on behalf of the parties and makes a lawsuit request or responds to the court. Litigation lawyers need to participate in court trials to help the parties solve disputes and corresponding demands. Non-litigation business is relative to "litigation" In civil litigation, in order to solve disputes, both parties must solve them through the judgment of the court; In criminal proceedings and administrative cases, judgments are made directly by judges without trial by courts. Therefore, the word "litigation" represents the contradictory relationship between the two parties to the dispute; On the contrary, the word "dispute" means the right of one party to the dispute to claim the other party-the right of claim (including substantive rights and procedural rights). "Litigation" and "dispute" both imply conflict.
Under the current legal system of our country, due to the imperfection of the judicial system and people's weak legal concept, a large number of civil and criminal cases can not be handled fairly or delayed for a long time; On the other hand, a large number of civil disputes and criminal cases appear constantly: on the one hand, a large number of civil disputes have not been mediated or judged in time and have been postponed to the next litigation period; On the other hand, more and more criminals have been brought to justice, resulting in the phenomenon of "no recourse".
