Many years ago, law graduates basically worked in public security, procuratorial, legal and departmental departments. Nowadays, the employment direction of law major in colleges and universities has changed fundamentally because of the beach-rushing.
Except for a few people who passed the civil service examination or judicial examination and went to positions corresponding to their majors, most graduates went to enterprises and institutions to engage in jobs unrelated to law.
Judging from the development trend of society, market economy is an economy ruled by law. Without a sound socialist legal system as the backing, there will be no good market economic order. According to statistics, the average number of lawyers per 10,000 people in China is only 0.8, which is lower than that of developed countries and some developing countries.
As far as enterprises are concerned, there are over 50 million enterprises in China, and only over 40,000 have hired lawyers as legal advisers. This information shows that the huge legal market demand in China has not been developed.
The legal needs and services of rural areas and small and medium-sized enterprises have not yet started. With the development of economy and the progress of society, and the improvement of legal environment, the demand for legal talents will be increasing.
Judging from the regional distribution of lawyers, the development is extremely uneven. There are more than 1 10,000 lawyers in Guangzhou and Beijing, accounting for 17% of the total number of lawyers in China, while there are only a few hundred lawyers in Qinghai Province, and some provinces and counties have only one lawyer.
There is also a strange phenomenon in the field of law: it is said that law majors are hard to find jobs, and many non-law graduates turn to law every year when they take the postgraduate entrance examination. In addition, there are still many on-the-job personnel who have given up their original jobs and joined the judicial examination army.
