Does the examination of lawyers require political examination?

Legal analysis: political censorship is needed. The qualification of a lawyer is not as harsh as that of a civil servant, so the files of the applicant's family members are not examined, as long as the applicant himself has not been subjected to criminal punishment, has not been expelled from public office and has not been revoked his lawyer's practice license.

Legal basis: Article 5 of the Lawyers Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) shall meet the following conditions to apply for practicing as a lawyer:

(a) support the constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC);

(2) Obtaining the legal professional qualification through the national unified legal professional qualification examination;

(3) Having worked as an intern in a law firm for one year;

(4) Good conduct.

The national unified judicial examination certificate and lawyer qualification certificate obtained before the implementation of the national unified legal professional qualification examination have the same effect as the national unified legal professional qualification certificate.
