The status of lawyers in China is not as good as that in Europe and America. Why?

First of all, China belongs to civil law countries, in which judges play a leading role, while lawyers only play the role of defense, unlike lawyers in Europe and America (Anglo-American legal system), which to a large extent allow judges to have free evaluation of evidence, and the final decision on winning or losing is in the hands of judges.

Secondly, judges in Europe and America, that is, the common law system, conduct trials according to precedents, and judges can make laws without violating the Constitution.

Thirdly, the highest level of lawyers' practice in China is to be lawyers, but in Europe and America, it is very difficult to obtain their lawyer's practice license. Unlike in China, as long as you pass the judicial examination and practice for one year, you can become a lawyer, so in contrast, the legal level of lawyers in China is obviously lower than that in Europe and America.

Third, China is a government-led judicial system, and the judiciary is always interfered by the government. Therefore, although the law clearly stipulates the power and status of lawyers, it is in a very low position in the actual operation process. Especially in criminal trials. In Europe and America, the judiciary is completely independent, and judges are also lifelong, free from government intervention. How to define the legal status of lawyers and exercise their rights in practice in full accordance with the provisions of the law.

I don't know if you are satisfied with my answer.
