First of all, before entering the profession, you should have a correct and clear understanding of the lawyers' profession. Most people's impression of lawyers is probably obtained from TV and movies, suits, luxury cars, gold watches, in the courtroom eloquent, and then charges by the hour, millions of millions of dollars a year. Is there such a lawyer? I can responsibly say: yes! But how many? I'm afraid that's just a handful. Most lawyers are still at the lowest end of the pyramid of this industry, to the lawyers who have more cases to help, as an assistant, to put it bluntly, is a part-time job!
Secondly, some people say that lawyers are freelance, what they want to do on their own. I want to say:This is not true! This is not true! This is not true! Important thing to say three times. People are under the impression that lawyers are free to do what they want with their time, and that's true to a certain extent. However, new lawyers to learn things, we must be dedicated, and strive to take you to the master of good service, he will arrange for you to receive the parties to file a case to take the summons to take the judgment to hand in the appeal to take the appeal to send the commission formalities to organize the file to guide the parties to sign and press the handprints to contact the judge session time to write a statement of proxy defense statement ...... ...... Well, I can't bear to say any more for fear you won't be able to carry it. However, these are very important learning opportunities, and these are also the foundational work after you become a practicing attorney, must be practiced ah!
Third, once someone asked me, your lawyer's license to hang a year to you how much money? I was directly baffled, what (⊙o⊙)? I'm not sure if you're a good person or a good person. The lawyer's income is high or low from the number of cases and the standard of your charges. Some people say that lawyers will have a bright future if they survive three years. There is some truth in this, and many lawyers can have a good income in three years, or even without three years, and can be said to be able to meet their ideal state. However, many people are three years after three years, I do not know when three years. The key is what kind of people did you come into contact with during those three years? What kind of work did you do? What was your approach to people and things. These are important!
Said so much, because the time is too late may be a little incoherent, the purpose is to remind you of this line to have a clear understanding. Finally, there are a few small suggestions:1, find a decent firm internship, 2, with a good teacher, this is very important! 3, do not be afraid of suffering, do more learning, will not ask, because the lawyer's line, sometimes experience is more important than knowledge. 4, work hard to exercise their own social activities, because the lawyer first of all, if a social activist, he has to deal with all kinds of social relations. 5, recommend a book about lawyers "Forgive me," "I'm sorry. A book about lawyers "forgive me for the red dust upside down", the author I will not say who it is. Although there are exaggerations in this book.
Here is not enough words, a variety of true meaning, after the body has its own experience.
@Cao Honglin:
Since the 1980s to restore the lawyer system to the future, the development of China's lawyers industry so far, the country registered more than two hundred thousand lawyers, compared to China's population of more than a billion people, the total number of lawyers is obviously insufficient. The industry has a great future.
But it is worth pointing out that the lawyer division is not balanced, more concentrated in large and medium-sized cities, the north of Guangzhou and Shenzhen accounted for more than one-third of the national lawyers, the general center of the city lawyers in the 1,000 to 3,000 between. Correspondingly, there is this less developed areas, a county level area are not a lawyer. So the concentration of the lawyer industry determines the fierce competition.
Lawyers basically belong to the freelance, in addition to public lawyers, corporate lawyers and some large firms of employed lawyers, most lawyers are similar to the nature of the self-employed, need to solve their own case to bear the cost. The income structure of the lawyers is like a pyramid, with a few lawyers earning a staggering income, which can top the net profit of a listed company, and most lawyers earning a local income of the middle to upper level, and individual new lawyers earning a meager income.
So the development of lawyers rely on individual efforts and opportunities to grasp, not a good generalization.
@Shandong Chishan Law Firm:
The world's most difficult profession is the work of lawyers. Law graduates with a bachelor's degree or above to take the judicial examination pass rate of about ten percent, this part of the people, preferred court, procuratorate work, the rest of the talent may be engaged in the profession of lawyers, and then after a year of internship, about thirty percent eliminated, the remaining seventy percent, lawyers want to become a hand, and then need to dry for five years about thirty percent eliminated, can be very few people left. That is, after five years of practice area, there is a constant elimination of lawyers. Can be called a big wave to eliminate a thousand people.
The lawyer's profession is a continuous learning profession, the lawyer's elimination is to eliminate themselves.
There is an overall surplus of lawyers in the profession, and competition is very fierce. Some people tout how lawyers make money, which is harmful. Newcomers to the profession of lawyers to know the hardships of practicing law and out in the wind, political risk, economic risk. It is the profession that dances on the edge of a knife. It's the high-risk profession. You don't see people going to jail. There are all kinds of factors.
The development of the times, lawyers are also divided. Foreign-related, international trade, maritime, intellectual property rights, patents, company listing, bankruptcy and other areas, lawyers are in short supply, the need for high-end talent.
The source of cases is also a major problem.
The development of good lawyers need to have a wide range of social relations, which is the problem of the case source; need to have a wealth of high-end legal knowledge, to the level of experts; to have the ability to use the flexibility.
Top-level law professors do not necessarily make good lawyers. Lawyers are legal craftsmen who synthesize the use of law. The combination of theory and behavior.
