1. Lawyers must pass the national judicial examination and obtain the legal professional qualification certificate. People who do not have a lawyer's practice certificate, but are engaged in legal affairs, are generally grassroots legal service workers, and hold a legal service worker's practice certificate issued by the Judicial Bureau.
2. A lawyer must have both a legal professional qualification certificate and a practicing certificate. If you only have a legal professional qualification certificate and no lawyer's practice certificate, you can't call a lawyer.
