Is it possible to become a lawyer by studying law by yourself?

Self-study law can become a lawyer, but it depends on your education, such as junior college or bachelor degree or above. If you want to be a lawyer now, you need to pass the "National Unified Judicial Examination".

Article 5 of the Lawyers Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that to apply for practicing as a lawyer, the following conditions shall be met:

1. Support the Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC);

Second, pass the national unified judicial examination;

Three, in a law firm internship for one year;

Fourth, good conduct.

The lawyer qualification certificate obtained before the implementation of the national unified judicial examination has the same effect as the national unified judicial examination certificate when applying for lawyer practice.

You can create any education you need, such as applying for adult universities, evening classes, or taking self-taught exams. Your situation may be suitable for taking the self-study exam. You don't need to go to class every day. You just need to sign up for books at a fixed time every year and take the exam. If you work hard, you can get an undergraduate certificate in two years.

After getting the diploma, you can apply for the national unified judicial examination, and you can register in June and July every year. The exam in September usually takes more than four months.
