Lawyer's license is an effective certificate for lawyers to engage in practice activities and an effective basis for verifying the identity of lawyers. A person without a lawyer's practice license may not engage in activities in the name of a lawyer.
The lawyer's certificate shall be issued by the provincial judicial administrative organ after the applicant's qualifications and other requirements are examined and qualified through legal procedures. Therefore, to obtain a lawyer's practice license, the applicant should not only have the knowledge level required to obtain a lawyer's qualification, but also have the ability to actually carry out lawyer's business. A lawyer's license is different from a lawyer's qualification certificate. A lawyer's qualification certificate is a necessary prerequisite for obtaining a lawyer's practice certificate, but if you only have a lawyer's qualification certificate without a lawyer's practice certificate, you are not allowed to engage in lawyer's practice activities.
In any of the following circumstances, you may not sign up for the national unified legal professional qualification examination:
1. Having received criminal punishment for intentional crime;
2. Being expelled from public office or having his lawyer's practice certificate or notary's practice certificate revoked;
3. The legal professional qualification certificate has been revoked;
4. You may not sign up for the national unified legal professional qualification examination within two years or you may not sign up for the national unified legal professional qualification examination for life;
5, due to serious dishonesty by the relevant state units identified as the object of joint punishment for dishonesty and included in the national credit information sharing platform;
6. Being banned from legal occupational therapy for life due to other circumstances.
