What qualifications do ordinary people need to be lawyers?

The Lawyers Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that:

Article 6 The qualification of lawyer shall be obtained through the unified national judicial examination. Those who have a bachelor's degree or above in law in institutions of higher learning, or a bachelor's degree or above in other majors in institutions of higher learning and have legal professional knowledge, have passed the national judicial examination.

If it is really difficult to apply for the qualifications specified in the preceding paragraph, it may be relaxed to a junior college degree in law within a certain period of time after being examined and confirmed by the judicial administrative department of the State Council.

Article 7 A person who has obtained a bachelor's degree or above in law from an institution of higher learning through a qualification examination, engaged in legal research, teaching and other professional work, and has a senior professional title or equivalent professional level, who applies for practicing as a lawyer, shall be granted the qualification of lawyer after being examined and approved by the judicial administrative department of the State Council according to the prescribed conditions.

Article 8 A person who supports the Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC) and meets the following conditions may apply for a lawyer's practice certificate:

(1) Having the qualification of a lawyer;

(2) Having worked as an intern in a law firm for one year;
