Lawyer is a professional legal knowledge because of the characteristics of lawyer's professional attributes. It also includes professionals who provide legal services to clients and are protected and managed by the state. To become a lawyer, you need to pass the national examination and obtain professional qualifications. The following are the characteristics of lawyers' professional attributes.
The professional attribute of lawyers is 1 1, which is stressful. Being a lawyer is more stressful than doing other jobs, because the client entrusts things that he can't handle to the lawyer, so the professional requirements in psychological quality, processing ability, coordination ability and communication ability are higher than those of the client, which leads to great pressure. An ordinary economic dispute may involve the life and death of an enterprise, a criminal case may involve the life and death of a person, and mistakes in a major non-litigation project may lead to huge claims.
2. Fast pace. Customers are anxious when they give you something to do, including litigation and non-litigation business. The lawyer's work rhythm must meet the needs of the client, and at the same time, the quality of the case must be guaranteed to satisfy the client. This is a stressful fast pace.
3, a wide range of knowledge, knowledge update quickly. Even professional lawyers face different types of legal problems every day. Today you face the construction industry, and tomorrow you may face the IT industry. If you don't know the customer industry at all, you can't undertake business. You must know the industry in the shortest time, at least superficially, before you can undertake business. At the same time, the country's legal process is very fast, and new laws, regulations and policies are constantly being introduced, which requires you to keep learning.
4. Strong independence, especially in litigation business. When undertaking litigation, lawyers often rely mainly on their own legal knowledge, litigation skills and experience, and do not need too much intervention from other lawyers, which leads to the independence of lawyers being more prominent than other industries. Such practical characteristics are likely to lead to organized and undisciplined work habits. Although many lawyers practice in the name of law firms, they are actually not particularly close to law firms, which is very dangerous.
What kind of law firm is right for you? There is no right or wrong. The key is what you want to do and what kind of law firm you want to choose. If you apply, the following factors should be considered for the law firm:
(1) salary system. Law firms are generally divided into commission system and salary system. The survival pressure and challenge of royalty system are great, but there may be more opportunities; The salary system is relatively stable, with basic guarantee and many professional training opportunities. However, the work should obey the arrangement of the firm, and what you grow will be bound to some extent. These two systems have their own advantages and disadvantages. The key is to suit you.
(2) Team situation. We should investigate whether the firm has a division of business departments, whether there is a clear division of labor, and how the departments cooperate internally. These are all important aspects to judge whether the firm supports your career development and provides a platform after you enter the law firm. On the one hand, professional development depends on oneself, on the other hand, it depends on external forces. For example, you like intellectual property rights and you want to develop intellectual property rights, but the law firm you choose has no business source and professional support in this field, so it is meaningless.
There are basically three types of law firms. 1. Large comprehensive firm: standardized management, comprehensive business, professional internal lawyers, neat team and close cooperation. Second, a small but sophisticated research institute: small in scale, specializing in a certain field, with strong professionalism and outstanding performance in this field. The third is a loose firm: lawyers get together to determine the commission ratio or payment amount. Nobody cares. It may be very large, even hundreds of people, but the relationship is very loose, so it is not a team. When choosing, we should carefully screen the choices.
(3) Law firm's support for lawyers. It should be investigated whether the firm provides professional training, difficult case discussion meetings, databases and other support to lawyers. For example, some law firms collate and summarize all cases and general contracts in the database of internal management software, which is convenient for lawyers to use and has a prompt effect, which is of great support to lawyers, especially those who have just entered the profession, and can effectively shorten the learning radius, avoid wasting time and reduce the risk of practice.
The characteristics of the lawyer's professional attributes 2 The biggest feature of the lawyer's profession, in my opinion, is the complexity of social relations.
Because the profession of lawyer (especially litigation lawyer) can't avoid dealing with all kinds of people from all walks of life except public security law, the social relationship of lawyer will be slightly more complicated than everyone in our daily life.
Whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage, I think there is no conclusion.
The advantage is that for newly graduated children, choosing a lawyer career and being exposed to a lot of complicated social relations and human feelings will make you grow up quickly, even if this growth will bring you some pain at some time.
Seeing those criminals who were imprisoned for drug trafficking and rotted all over because of drug abuse, you experienced the horror of drugs for the first time;
In the court of divorce dispute, the husband and wife attacked each other unscrupulously, and even threatened to die if they didn't judge according to her opinion. This kind of scene is really disturbing for these young people who are still yearning for love.
If you are an innocent girl and have never dabbled in adults, the files of organizing prostitution crimes may make you blush for a long time. Various consumption experiences, feedback from both service providers and consumers, and the organizational structure of pimps, ladies, thugs and broken reminders make you feel like you have returned to your hometown in Wei Xiaobao.
Lawyers who have not changed careers at this time can handle most problems in their work and life with great probability after long-term internship and internship in the first three to five years.
At the same time, after dozens of hundreds of cases, thousands of parties, judges, prosecutors, clerks, police and fellow lawyers beat, lawyers in this period reached the golden age physically and psychologically, and were able to deal with people and problems with ease.
This is what I'm talking about. Being a lawyer can make you grow up quickly.
As for the disadvantages?
This industry has exposed the dark side of human nature. Whether it is a criminal case or a civil case, husband and wife tear each other, brothers turn against each other, friends dig holes, and all kinds of human feelings are warm and cold, which will make you feel uncomfortable when you are still young and just entering the business. This kind of exercise intensity can easily bring stress and anxiety.
In addition, there is a general anxiety in the legal profession, from the chief lawyer or partner lawyer to the intern lawyer or paralegal, everyone is always anxious about the choice of career path, the channels for the development of anxiety cases, the cost of law firm management and the determination of practice direction. Everyone's troubles are different, and the core of these troubles is the same.
Characteristics of lawyers' professional attributes 3 1, rule of law
The rise and fall of a country's lawyer profession is positively related to the degree of rule of law in a country. China's long feudal society did not produce a lawyer profession. Even a few people who actively provide legal help to others are regarded as heterogeneous and cannot survive as legitimate occupations. The history of People's Republic of China (PRC) after its founding is also a history of bumpy development of lawyer profession. China resumed the lawyer system in 1956, but it died in 1958, and the lawyer system in 1959 was simply cancelled.
With this tragic result, the signboards of public security organs, procuratorial organs and courts were smashed, and legal work was paralyzed. The lawyer profession not only does not exist in reality, but also disappears in many people's minds. It is like an uninvited guest, showing up in a hurry and leaving in a hurry. The reason is that in the era of rule by man, legal norms are redundant. Without norms, lawyers have no need to exist. It can be seen that there would be no lawyer profession in the era without the rule of law.
Similarly, in an era without the rule of law, there will be no overall legal profession. A country that needs the rule of law needs lawyers, judges and prosecutors. From this point of view, the three major occupations gradually recovered and developed after the country needed the rule of law.
2. Professionalization
Legal work is very professional, which requires people engaged in this work to have a series of qualities such as systematic legal theoretical basis, good legal concepts, legal thinking and legal language expression. However, at the beginning of the restoration of the legal system in China, due to the shortage of legal talents, the country was eager to select talents and had to lower the threshold of legal practitioners appropriately. After several years of accumulation, the number of legal workers has basically met the needs of work.
How to improve the quality of legal talents has become an urgent problem to be solved. Professional accomplishment is an important guarantee for the quality of legal talents. Therefore, under the appeal of many parties, the state has implemented a unified judicial examination for all those engaged in legal work and adopted a unified selection standard, which has greatly improved the entry threshold of the legal profession and ensured the professionalism of legal practitioners. Therefore, the practitioners of the three professions are all legal experts. This is the basis of their professional communication and the most external similarity.
3. Organizational nature
These three professions do not fight alone in specific work, but rely on certain organizations. Lawyers practice in the name of their law firms, judges try cases in the name of their courts, and prosecutors prosecute and engage in other activities stipulated by law in the name of their procuratorates.
However, the differences between these three occupations are much deeper. It is these differences that make the profession of lawyer different from that of judges and prosecutors. Modern lawyers did not exist as allies of judges or prosecutors from the day they came into being.
