To become a legal aid lawyer, you need to become a social lawyer first and then accept the assignment from the legal aid center. Legal aid lawyers include lawyers assigned to provide legal aid for cases and full-time legal aid lawyers.
1. Social lawyers are appointed by legal aid agencies to provide legal aid services for a case, that is, aid lawyers for a case. The Lawyers Law stipulates that lawyers and law firms shall perform their legal aid obligations in accordance with state regulations.
2. The application procedure is as follows: obtain the qualification of practicing lawyer, apply to the Judicial Bureau, and be accepted by the Legal Aid Center to become a candidate lawyer in the legal aid lawyer library. The legal aid center accepts the request of the party requesting assistance and assigns it to a specific law firm, which entrusts an aid lawyer.
3. Full-time lawyers (public lawyers) who are employed by legal aid institutions under the Bureau of Justice and specialize in legal aid services are actually government staff.
4. The application procedure is as follows: apply to the Municipal Legal Aid Center and conduct an interview after the application is passed. If the interview passes, there will be a notice and a selection exam may be held. You can go in for an internship if you pass the exam, and you can become a full-time legal aid lawyer if you pass the internship.
Second, what are the relevant requirements?
1, qualification certificate
To become a lawyer, the most basic thing is to pass the national judicial examination. The judicial examination is registered every July 1- 15, and the examination is held on the second Saturday and Sunday in September.
However, I would like to remind you that the judicial examination is called "the first test in China", and the passing rate is relatively low over the years, with an average of about 10%.
2. Education:
To be a lawyer, you must pass the judicial examination, and those who are qualified to take the judicial examination must be undergraduate or junior college students in law. The reason why the state requires lawyers to have academic qualifications is because lawyers are a highly professional profession with high requirements for business and a clear understanding of the entire legal system and process.
3. Lawyer's Practice Certificate
Of course, if you want to be a lawyer, you don't have to meet the academic requirements and pass the judicial examination. After passing the judicial examination, you need to practice in a law firm. After one year's internship, the judiciary will issue you a lawyer's practice certificate, and then you will become a practicing lawyer.
The practice license is divided into ABC three grades. A certificate is a bachelor's degree (except for any major and party school) and has passed the national line; B certificate is a law college degree registration and passed the national line; Certificate C is a law school registration, which has passed the line of caring for areas (poverty-stricken counties). A certificate is universal in the whole country, and B certificate and C certificate are universal in local areas.
Third, the concept of legal aid defense.
Legal aid refers to the legal aid institutions established by the judicial administrative department of the people's government at or above the county level according to law to organize legal service institutions and legal aid personnel to provide free legal services for citizens with economic difficulties or other poor legal conditions.
Legal aid is the responsibility of the government, including the government providing the necessary institutions and teams for the development of legal aid and providing the necessary funds; It also includes that the government should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of lawyers, social organizations and other parties, extensively open up funding channels, and encourage all parties to provide support for legal aid. This also clearly shows that the government is the main sponsor of this cause. As long as it is recognized as the object of legal aid, all the funds for legal aid will be paid by the government.
