Advantages and disadvantages of the lawyer profession The lawyer profession is sacred and hard. Every year, a large number of candidates who pass the law examination will choose to engage in the legal profession. In the first few years of working as a lawyer, the income is still relatively small and the work is relatively hard. Many people find it difficult to persist. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of the lawyer profession.
Advantages and disadvantages of the profession of lawyer 1 (1)
1, knowledge
Lawyer is a profession that can always learn new knowledge. Knowledge should be not only refined, but also extensive, including not only legal aspects, but also economy, politics and history. The first thing you need to be a lawyer is the professional knowledge of a lawyer. If you are a person who likes professional knowledge and learning, being a lawyer is a good choice. This profession requires you to keep learning and updating, so that you can't stop if you want to.
2. challenging
The second advantage of the lawyer profession is that it is challenging. Although, lawyers who specialize in a certain field will be busy with the same kind of projects over and over again, such as foreign mergers and acquisitions, foreign investment, international financing, perennial legal affairs, labor affairs, company listing and so on. However, the work of lawyers is never absolutely repetitive.
Each new project has its own unique challenges. Even similar business types will have different problems in different industries, different customer needs, different time points and different regions. Lawyers are committed to solving these problems on a case-by-case basis. Legal problems in any project cannot be solved in a formulaic way.
Therefore, even if the same question is put in different projects, there may be different answers, which will become a new challenge for lawyers.
Step 3 extend
Lawyers have a wide network of contacts, and lawyers will face different companies, different customers, different industries and different people in different businesses. Moreover, the quality of business and personnel contacted by lawyers is relatively high. If you are not a lawyer, but an ordinary employee of the enterprise, it is difficult to have such a contact surface. Extensive contact can broaden people's horizons and make them more tolerant, which is also one of the benefits of being a lawyer.
4. novelty
As mentioned above, lawyers have to face the most frequent and fresh things in economic life and social life. The actor's freshness appears in different movies, and the lawyer's freshness is to contact different things in reality.
5. Relatively high income
In the past twenty years, the number of lawyers in China has increased hundreds of times, but the total income of lawyers in China has increased thousands of times. Thus, the income of lawyers in China has been in direct proportion to the rapid economic development in China. China's economy is full of hope and unlimited development potential, and the income of lawyers in China is also rising, which also has unlimited room for growth.
6. Fast rising space
In an ordinary enterprise, it is not easy for ordinary people to achieve intermediate titles, it is difficult to achieve senior positions, and it is even more difficult to achieve the role of enterprise boss. For another example, it is easy for you to buy shares in a big company, but it is too difficult for you to really become a person with relative core rights and interests in an enterprise.
But as a lawyer, as long as you work hard and have this quality, generally speaking, it may take 67 or 90 years to become a partner of the firm. You are interested in the company, become a boss-level figure and play a shareholder-type role.
In state organs and large companies, the level is strict, and employees can only achieve middle-level positions for a long time, and may also need to deal with complex interpersonal relationships. But unlike law firms, there is no strict hierarchy, and the internal personnel relationship is simple and simple. As long as lawyers show outstanding performance, they can generally be promoted to the position of partners in about ten years.
7. It's easy to change careers
Because of their work, lawyers are exposed to different things every day and exercise different skills, including analysis, research, organization and comprehensive ability. So it's easier for lawyers to change careers.
8. Relative freedom.
9. A long career
Lawyers have a long career, and the older they get, the more valuable they are. As a lawyer, the longer you work, the more you accumulate, the more experience you have, and the richer your experience, the better your client base. Of course, your energy is also relatively attenuated.
The firm is a system, and many things need experienced lawyers. Experience is very important. The more experience, the stronger the professional vitality. Ordinary lawyers can work until they are about 65 years old. Even if you retire, you can do other things because you have rich experience in related industries.
10, basic social status
In China, the status of lawyers is slightly worse. Because of the political system and the tradition of rule of law, lawyers in China were once marginalized by politics. Moreover, due to the short history of the lawyer industry in China, the public does not know about this industry and has misunderstandings about it. With the knowledge and professionalism of lawyers recognized by the public, and with the improvement of lawyers' economic income, the social status of lawyers in China has gradually improved. In recent years, some excellent lawyers have begun to play a role in the National People's Congress, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and other national and local institutions, becoming representatives and members, and so on.
(2) Disadvantages
1, busy
Lawyers are usually busy, especially when the economy is good. Litigants and non-litigators often have many cases or projects going on at the same time. It is common for lawyers to work overtime. It is also common to have a holiday without rest.
2. Lifelong participation
As I said before, the advantage of being a lawyer is that professional knowledge is constantly updated, and the disadvantage is that it is never too late to study and work. You can't stop being a lawyer You must have a burning heart and a candle spirit. The professional level of lawyers should not lag behind. In order to maintain excellent competitiveness, he must keep in touch with the frontier business, keep busy and enterprising.
3, shall not be inherited
The law firm is a partnership system, not a company system, not relying on capital, mainly relying on people's professional skills, so there is no inheritance relationship in the lawyer industry. As a lawyer, you have to work all your life and work hard all your life. A lawyer's capital is his own experience and wisdom. Even if he has become a senior lawyer, his profession can't be inherited, because experience and wisdom can't be taught, and it needs personal accumulation and efforts.
4. Auxiliary
Lawyers are relatively auxiliary jobs, not mainstream. In a company, business is the most important thing, making money is the most important thing, and lawyers are the auxiliary. Therefore, to be a lawyer, you must have a stand and mentality, and you must have the mentality of being a behind-the-scenes worker, not a star.
5. Unofficial, non-commercial and non-mainstream.
Lawyers do not belong to the official system, nor are they purely commercial systems. China is still a relatively official system, and now there is a business standard besides the official standard. Under the current circumstances, lawyers are only a relatively non-mainstream service industry. Lawyers in other countries can go into politics and engage in mainstream social work with high profile. In China, lawyers are relatively low-key industries, auxiliary industries and service industries.
6. Formal freedom is not essential freedom.
The lawyer profession seems to be free in form. As mentioned earlier, lawyers are free to change partners. But eating a hundred meals is actually under the control of a hundred families, and each family is giving you tasks and urging you to work. Therefore, from the formal point of view, lawyers seem to be quite free, but in essence, lawyers are very not free.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Lawyer Profession 2 Advantages of Lawyer Profession:
1, free
At a certain stage of work (usually the partner stage), you are free to decide what to do or not to do, you are free to choose the time and place of work, and you are free to form your own team.
2. Relatively high income
In the United States, lawyers and doctors are the highest-paid middle class. In China, lawyers are also people with relatively stable economic income. Moreover, the income of lawyers is directly proportional to the growth of performance. Therefore, as a person without family background and capital, a lawyer is a career that can start from scratch and exchange his hard work for a happy life.
In the past 20 years, the number of lawyers in China has increased hundreds of times. Thus, the income of lawyers in China has been in direct proportion to the rapid economic development in China. China's economy is full of hope and unlimited development potential, and the income of lawyers in China is also rising.
3. Good social status
Although there are many people who scold lawyers, although many lawyers have a hard life and lawyers are not welcomed by various government departments, it is very likely that people will always hire lawyers several times in their lives, and this society is money-oriented, and their social status is largely determined by their income level.
4. Fast rising space
In addition to the large room for income growth, there is also a large room for career growth in the lawyer industry. In an ordinary enterprise, it is not easy for ordinary people to achieve intermediate titles, it is difficult to achieve senior positions, and it is even more difficult to achieve the role of enterprise boss. For another example, you can easily buy shares in a big company.
But it is too difficult for you to really become a person with core rights and interests in an enterprise. With this quality, generally speaking, it may take six or seven years and ninety years to become a partner of a firm. You are interested in the company, become a boss-level figure and play a shareholder-type role.
In state organs and large companies, the hierarchy is strict and may need to deal with complex interpersonal relationships. But unlike law firms, there is no strict hierarchy, and the internal personnel relationship is simple and simple. As long as lawyers show outstanding performance, they can generally be promoted to the position of partners in about ten years.
5. Simple interpersonal relationships
Generally speaking, lawyers may need to maintain a necessary social network outside the law firm. But within the law firm, interpersonal relationship is relatively simple, because everyone in the law firm has the opportunity to become a partner, unlike the pyramid structure of the company, you have to step on others to get promoted.
6. It's easy to change careers
Because of their work, lawyers are exposed to different things every day and exercise different skills, including analysis, research, organization and comprehensive ability. So it's easier for lawyers to change careers.
Advantages and disadvantages of the profession of lawyer 3 What are the professional advantages of lawyers?
First, this is a career full of opportunities forever. It is difficult to be a lawyer, but it is difficult to get started. There is a simple reason. Lawyers are highly personalized, socialized and experienced professions. These three characteristics of the profession are especially unfavorable to young lawyers. But crisis, crisis and danger have their own opportunities. This is the secret of opportunity.
Lawyers' personal attributes make cases flock to so-called barristers and famous lawyers, and young lawyers are generally anxious about the lack of case sources. But it is also a double-edged sword. People's time, energy and intelligence are absolutely limited. The so-called barristers, with more cases, will inevitably neglect management, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the quality of cases. The so-called barristers are struggling to cope.
It is inevitable that we can only choose the so-called major case, and the opportunity for young people to deal with small cases has come. The big boss has grown up and the case has grown up. Young lawyers will also grow up gradually. The socialization of profession makes lawyers inevitably distract from social activities and enhance their influence. The experience attribute of lawyers.
It is destined to be a career that always opens its doors to young people. It takes time for young people to change themselves. Therefore, I have repeatedly kindly reminded young lawyers not to rush for success, not to blindly compare with others, to calm down and temper their career, and to sharpen their swords in ten years will surely shine brilliantly.
The second is a more humanized occupation. What is human nature? Everyone has his own answer. But I think that the greatest desire of human beings is freedom, and the essence of human nature is freedom. The freedom of the body is the instinct of animals, and the freedom of the mind belongs to noble human beings. China's Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are nothing more than solving the problem of human spiritual freedom.
Confucianism is a grand duke, and everything follows it. Taoism is natural and forgives the world, but the four aspects of Buddhism are completely absent, so let go of obsession. Its goal is to achieve physical and mental freedom-sainthood, sage, Buddhism. It's just that its implementation path and method are different. Confucianism was born after China's entry into WTO, while Taoism was sublimated.
Buddhists cross themselves before crossing others. When lawyers practice for a certain period of time, from "the client chooses me" to "I choose the client", freedom will follow. First, time is free. You don't have to work nine to five. You can arrange your own time at will. Secondly, freedom of making friends.
For customers who don't like it, you can not contact or take orders. It is nothing more than earning less, and you can't be hungry anyway. If you meet someone you don't like, you can stay away from each other.
Third, this is a profession that keeps moving towards truth, goodness and beauty. The profession of lawyers requires them to really solve problems. They must demand truth, tell the truth, do practical things, show their true feelings and be true and bloody children. A real lawyer, human nature will be filled with more and more real elements, and falsehood will gradually lose space.
Good and beauty are filled, and ugliness and evil are naturally purified. As far as goodness is concerned, lawyers are the natural supervisors of public power. Only by standing on the weak side can lawyers find their own values and achievements. Compared with non-litigation lawyers and lawyers in the field of private law, defense lawyers in the field of public law run for the life and freedom of the weak and shout for truth and slander, which is the highest realm of lawyer's business.
