Law covers a wide range and is closely related to our daily life. For example, when signing a contract in business, you should understand the contract law and the labor law when there is a dispute with your work unit. In addition, criminal law, procedural law and international law, which study crimes, also belong to the research scope of law. Studying law can also help you understand why laws should be made and learn how to deal with events and problems according to law.
At present, China's law majors are set according to the different emphases of colleges and universities, and the training methods of talents are also different. There are three main situations. One is specialized law schools, such as China University of Political Science and Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, etc. The other is the law department or law school in a comprehensive university, such as Peking University Law School and Renmin University of China Law School. There is also a kind of universities specialized in science and engineering, such as Tsinghua University and north china university of technology. Specialized law schools have a fine division of disciplines and a high degree of specialization, which can enable students to receive systematic education; The law department or law school of a comprehensive university is characterized by multi-disciplinary advantages, and students can choose courses across departments, which is conducive to establishing a complete knowledge system.
First, the legal profession and prospect analysis
The permanent majors of law include civil and commercial law, economic law, criminal law, international law, environmental law and foreign-related law.
1, analysis of employment status and future career development;
Law major is a sunrise discipline, and from the perspective of social demand, it has great development prospects. Judging from the employment situation of law graduates, they have a solid professional foundation and can engage in legal services in procuratorial organs, judicial organs, administrative organs, enterprises and institutions, social organizations, arbitration institutions and legal service institutions. Employment prospects are very broad, when the police, prosecutors, judges, civil servants of administrative organs; Responsible for the legal affairs of large companies; Be a lawyer; Be a college law teacher; It is a good choice to be a law researcher in the graduate school.
Law majors have a high demand for high-quality and highly educated talents. They should not only have good professional ethics and quality, but also have profound professional knowledge background and interdisciplinary industry knowledge. In recent years, with the higher education requirements for legal talents, the employment situation of law undergraduates is not optimistic. However, highly educated law graduates, especially those majoring in economics and international communication, have broad employment prospects.
2. Salary level and employment difficulty
The overall salary level of law major is higher than that of other industries. Can do more, for example, the average annual income of lawyers is about 654.38+10,000 yuan. Of course, different law firms and their qualifications are also directly related to the income of lawyers. Those with high annual salary can get 300 thousand, and those with low annual salary are only 1 10 thousand. In cases of different nature, such as economic, financial, securities, real estate and other foreign-related litigation, young trainee lawyers may only earn about 1000 yuan a month, and the annual salary of senior lawyers is not a problem. In cases such as marriage, labor law and intellectual property rights, lawyers charge lower fees. And those who work as legal advisers in enterprises earn a lot of money.
As law is still a highly practical subject, law students should go deep into life and participate in various practical activities while fully learning the theoretical knowledge of this major, such as internship in public security organs, procuratorial organs, law firms and law firms, learning practical operations, accumulating some experience and testing the correctness of theoretical knowledge. Law is essentially a "people-oriented" science, so students must never be divorced from society, otherwise they will be behind closed doors.
Teacher Sun Jia also pointed out that when law students enter their senior year, as long as they have various possible employment choices, they should try their best (mainly attending various job fairs and talent exchange meetings). Students can choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, take the judicial examination, take the civil service examination of state organs, and broaden employment channels. Or according to their own interests and social needs, learning a skill, such as quick recording technology, and entering the court as a clerk is also one of the good employment channels. The most important thing is not to be arrogant. Sometimes it's not that there is no job, but that students don't want to do it.
& lt2> At present, there are about 6.5438+0.4 million registered lawyers and more than 6.5438+0.000 law firms in China, with an average of one lawyer for every 9,000 people, including one lawyer for every 654.38+0.300 people in Beijing, one lawyer for every 654.38+0.800 people in Shanghai and one lawyer for every 200 people in new york.
Judging from the regional distribution of lawyers, the development is extremely uneven. There are more than 1 10,000 lawyers in Guangdong and Beijing, accounting for 17% of the total number of lawyers in China, while there are only more than 400 lawyers in Qinghai Province and only 1 lawyer in some pastoral areas.
The annual business of lawyers in China is about 9 million, and their business income is about 9 billion. The per capita income of lawyers is about 70,000 yuan, and the average fee per piece is about 1000 yuan. However, there are still serious regional differences. The annual income of lawyers in Beijing is as high as 260,000 yuan, Shanghai is about 200,000 yuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang is about 70,000 yuan, and Guangdong is about 50,000 yuan. The average annual income of lawyers in some western provinces is only about 5,000 yuan, or even.
No matter the proportion of employees in the whole population, the proportion of lawyers with high academic qualifications and foreign language talents, or the proportion of medium and large law firms in the total number of law firms, lawyers in the central and western regions are not the same as those in the developed eastern regions. In particular, the extremely unbalanced economic development in the eastern, central and western regions directly leads to the disparity in lawyers' income, which cannot be significantly changed in a short time. This is an indisputable fact. Due to the great contrast between the development of lawyers in the east and the midwest, some lawyers in the midwest are moving to the east, which is also in line with the law of talent flow in a sense.
Therefore, on the whole, from the perspective of personal survival and interests, the lawyer industry in developed areas such as Beijing and Guangdong has the best development environment and is most conducive to personal development. Of course, we can't just look at these average figures and think that the situation of the lawyer industry is excellent. Lawyer is an industry with a big gap between strength and weakness. Well-known barristers earn millions or tens of millions a year, but many lawyers can't make ends meet, earning less than 10 thousand yuan a year, and some even have no money to pay annual inspection or membership fees, so they are forced to change careers. For a new lawyer, 90% income can only maintain a basic survival. Although the symbol of success is not money, the most powerful evaluation criterion for lawyers is income. In addition, the lawyer's practice environment is also very bad, which is a huge obstacle for us to engage in the lawyer industry.
The society is not perfect and the lawyer industry is not satisfactory, but we must see that the lawyer industry will only develop in a better and better direction. As long as you choose a lawyer, you must work hard to realize your dream and you will succeed one day.
