How many kinds of lawyers are there in China? Why?

There are many kinds of lawyers, and there is only one kind of legal classification, that is, full-time lawyers and part-time lawyers.

A full-time lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in the legal profession, and a part-time lawyer is a teacher of law school or law major or a person engaged in legal research.

Other classifications, not legal classifications, are many:

Professionally divided into: civil and commercial lawyers, criminal lawyers, administrative lawyers, labor lawyers and so on.

From the business tendency, it can be divided into: securities lawyers, corporate lawyers and so on.

And:

Divided into male lawyers and female lawyers according to gender.

Divided into old lawyers and young lawyers by age.

In the past, lawyers were divided into first-class lawyers, second-class lawyers, third-class lawyers and fourth-class lawyers (trainee lawyers), but now this classification has been abolished.
