Analysis on Employment Prospect of Law Majors
On June 27th, 2009, 10, the 2009 Employment Report of College Students in Beijing compiled by professional employment research company Michaels was released to the public. After graduating from law for half a year, the employment rate in Beijing is 8 1%, which is 7 percentage points lower than the average employment rate, and the unemployment rate ranks first. This is not unique to Beijing. As early as June, 2009, the first national annual report on college students' employment published by Social Science Literature Publishing House-Blue Book on Employment: 2009 Employment Report of College Students in China clearly pointed out that the employment rate of law graduates in 2008 was 79%, ranking second from the bottom in the category of 1 1. This statistic also means that Michaels later launched the "Professional Red, Yellow and Green List", and law was clearly listed as a "red card major", that is, "a major that has been in the top few of the national fresh graduates 10 unemployment rate or 10 unemployment rate for two consecutive years". The law major has ranked the third lowest in the employment rate for three consecutive years: except for the second lowest in 2009, the third lowest in 2007 and the first lowest in 2008.
According to incomplete statistics, in 200 1 year, there were 292 universities in China offering undergraduate courses in law; In 2005, it was about 560, and the increase in four years was similar to that accumulated in the past 20 years; By the end of 2008, the number of students has reached 634, and law has become one of the three largest majors in China. So far, the "Great Leap Forward Movement of Law" in China universities has successfully completed the triple jump. According to statistics, there are about 300,000 undergraduate law students and 220,000 junior law students in China, which is more than 200 times more than 30 years ago. On the one hand, the enrollment of law majors in colleges and universities is "striding forward", on the other hand, the demand of social organizations for law talents is "stumbling", which blocks a large number of "law believers" on the highway of employment.
"After studying law, I can make a lot of money as a judge, prosecutor and lawyer, so" I want to apply for law! However, Mr. Zhang Wen of Jinan University Law School reminded that "applying for law must not be based on a whim, only seeing the glamorous side of law", because the enthusiasm before applying for the exam is not enough to think that it will continue to heat up in the next four years. Law is still a relatively boring major. Although people think that it is one-sided to learn law by memorizing it as long as they have a good memory, in the face of many contents that need to be mastered, such as law, legal concepts, legal provisions, judicial interpretation, etc., students of this major not only need strong comprehension and learning ability, but also need great patience and continuous enthusiasm for law. In addition, law, after all, is a social discipline, which needs a lot of communication with society. Lawyer Zhao Zhengdong also suggested: "It is best for students who choose law to have strong communication skills and social communication skills. Judging from the law students I have brought, students who are relatively outgoing, decisive and eloquent are more likely to make a difference in this industry. " Who can be the real Mr. Jurisdiction? Maybe everyone's answer is different, but before choosing the law as your "youth companion", ask yourself whether you are really ready to become the only thrill of the law, then this dance music of "Dancing with the Law" composed by you and the law will be longer.
What can law students do? Let's briefly analyze it. Lawyer: Lawyer: Examination is a typical career path: paralegal → lawyer → partner of the firm: ① judicial examination; 2 experience. Professional status: As a socially recognized high-income class, lawyers are a symbol of identity and status. After joining WTO, lawyers are one of the biggest beneficiaries. Lawyers who know English (BBS) and international law have good career prospects. However, due to the oversupply of domestic law undergraduates, the social recognition of the quality of law undergraduates has declined, and the employment situation is not very good, but the demand for outstanding graduates, especially graduate students, is still relatively large. Salary level: The lawyer's income can be calculated in two ways. One way is to get paid, the firm pays, and the lawyer is responsible for the lawsuit. According to the ability, those with high annual salary can get 300 thousand yuan or even millions of yuan, while those with low annual salary are only 6.5438+0 million yuan. The other is that lawyers don't get paid, but they are affiliated with law firms, and lawyers have to find their own clients. According to the business commission, it generally ranges from 30% to 70%. Moreover, according to the special differences in economic law, labor law and intellectual property rights, the income will be different. Generally speaking, a young trainee lawyer costs about 1000 yuan a month. With the accumulation of experience and the increase of case sources, income is directly linked to personal ability. After a few years, it is normal to be different. An old horse knows the way: the first problem to be solved is to pass the national judicial examination. This exam is generally registered in July and tested in September every year. Its biggest feature is difficulty and low pass rate. In 2003, nearly 200,000 people took the exam,17,000 people crossed the line, and the passing rate was 10%. The passing rate in 2004 was 1 1.22%. The judicial examination has a huge amount of reading materials and many knowledge points. Finally, we will compare who is more resilient and who can bear hardships the most. We should believe in heaven and reward hard work. Making a review plan depends on the implementation. No matter how difficult it is, it should be completed to the letter. Generally speaking, it is reasonable to plan to finish the exam in two years. Since you can only apply for a practicing certificate after one year of internship, you can find a law firm to hang up for another year after you get the certificate, and you can directly engage in legal affairs after graduation. Followed by work experience. Law is a secular subject, and many teachers in the field of law will be involved in legal practice. In other words, if you have the opportunity to win the favor of teachers and help them "do odd jobs" during college, you will have the most valuable internship experience in job hunting when you graduate. Especially for graduate students, because of their high professional level and frequent contact with tutors, they can make full use of the conditions to accumulate experience. If your teacher is not the kind of person who has one foot in the sea and one foot in the boat, you can also ask them to introduce you. Many of their classmates and friends are willing to open a firm. In addition, during my spare time, I will go to some law firms and the legal departments of foreign companies for part-time jobs (internships), which will greatly help me find a job after graduation. If I do well, I may stay there after graduation. Sometimes, a teacher is an expert or even an authority in a certain field, and he will have a lot of resources, which is a rare commodity. Pay more attention and communication at ordinary times. I want to go to a law firm after graduation. If they are willing to introduce you, it is much better than casting a net all over the sky. Finally, if you don't pass the judicial examination when you graduate, you still have a chance. The position of paralegal does not have to have a qualification certificate. You may still have a chance to fight for it. Civil servant: A highly competitive profession: The popularity of civil servant examination registration in recent years has clearly reflected the attraction of this profession: stability, high income, low work pressure and perfect welfare guarantee. Key points: ① civil service examination; ② Social relations. Salary level: the level of regional economic development is directly proportional, and all kinds of income are generally much higher than the average regional salary level. An old horse knows the way: when taking the national civil service examination, the major of two subjects is not so important, and it is usually required to study law, but there are many positions that need party member in the registration brochure. When recruiting people, courts and procuratorates have very detailed requirements on disciplines, and often indicate "civil and commercial law major" or "criminal law major". Being a civil servant, the biggest advantage of going to the court procuratorate is "stability", but their income is not as good as that of lawyers, so people often go to the court for a few years and then jump out to be lawyers. In fact, the treatment of civil servants and courts is good now, but compared with the prospect of becoming a lawyer, it is inevitable that people are unwilling.

However, 1983, only 1 of China law doctoral students were admitted at the beginning of enrollment. The number of law teachers has reached more than 55,000, which has increased by nearly 10 times in the 30 years since the reform and opening up. According to the survey, the employment rate of law graduates in 2007 was the lowest among Levenko graduates.
