A full-time lawyer refers to a person who has obtained a lawyer's qualification or a legal professional qualification certificate, practiced in a law firm for one year, and obtained a full-time lawyer's practice certificate, specializing in lawyer work. Full-time lawyers must practice in law firms, including litigation business such as civil litigation, criminal litigation and administrative litigation, as well as non-litigation business such as legal consultation and legal consultant.
Second, what is a part-time lawyer
Part-time lawyer refers to a person who has obtained a lawyer's practice certificate and engages in lawyer's practice part-time without leaving his post. Personnel engaged in legal education and research in institutions of higher learning and scientific research who meet the requirements stipulated in Article 5 of the Lawyers Law may apply for part-time lawyer practice with the consent of their units and in accordance with relevant procedures.

There is not much difference between full-time lawyers and part-time lawyers. Both of them need to pass the judicial examination and practice in a law firm for one year before they can become practicing lawyers. Part-time lawyers also have the qualification of practicing law, and enjoy exactly the same rights and obligations as full-time lawyers in the specific practice process. However, relatively speaking, the conditions for part-time lawyers are more demanding. Only those who are engaged in legal research in universities or scientific research institutions can apply for the exam with the consent of the unit, and they must be affiliated with a law firm.
