Legal awareness is the understanding of the law, the value and significance of the law and your view of the role of lawyers in the legal industry, and whether there is any conflict between the role of lawyers in building the rule of law and your values. Specifically, What matters most is whether you have the ability and sensitivity to analyze the true meaning behind the legal provisions.
Legal thinking is based on jurisprudence and legal logic. One depends on whether the logical thinking is good, and the other depends on whether the understanding of the spirit of rule of law is thorough.
How to judge is actually relatively simple. Logical thinking, if you are a science major, is generally good, but legal logic is mainly a logical expression of words and language, so you can see whether the article you write is logically rigorous, whether the words are accurate, and whether the language is wordy. , language expression can be improved through practice, but the formation of the most important thinking mode, syllogism is the most commonly used logical form of legal reasoning, so you must be familiar with it. Specifically, it refers to whether your analysis of legal issues can be logically coherent, and whether you can be persuasive and reasoning.
How to judge, I think it is difficult to say, some lawyers have been mediocre in the first three years, because their previous experience The method does not reflect his abilities and strengths, but he suddenly broke out and became famous 3 years later, so it is mainly based on other people's evaluations and your own evaluations. The simplest way is to ask people who know you well whether you are suitable to be a good lawyer. .
If you want to study abroad, I can only say that what lawyers focus on is not academic qualifications. Unlike other domestic industries, academic qualifications are sometimes not even a stepping stone, but the experience and language skills of going abroad will help you become a better lawyer. It is better for a good lawyer to pay attention, because you still need other conditions to become a lawyer. If you go abroad to study law, it will not be very useful for becoming a lawyer, because lawyers are a practice-oriented industry, and foreign laws are very different from those in China. When you come back, you may be a good scholar, but you may have to start over as a lawyer. Oh, it's been a waste of several years. If you really want to study abroad, the United States is the country with the best legal education in the world, but only graduates from 100 schools can take the judicial examination to be awarded the American lawyer qualification and become an American lawyer. Moreover, the tuition there is quite expensive, and American lawyers cannot When litigating in China, the second place is the civil law countries, because our country mainly refers to the national legal system established by the civil law system. If you study there, you can learn more legal knowledge, such as France and Germany. What needs to be reminded is that if the judicial examination is reformed, only those who have studied law at undergraduate level or above in China can take the judicial examination. Then you will not be able to take the examination when you return from abroad, and you will not be qualified as a lawyer.
Of course professional lawyers have the best future, but I can only say that about energy law. . . . . .
There are currently two majors for making money as a lawyer. One is patent attorney. Only those with a bachelor's degree in science and engineering can obtain this qualification, but the prerequisite is lawyer qualification.
2 is the direction of corporate legal affairs. You need to obtain a corporate legal consultant and you must first be qualified as a lawyer. Other directions are not very valuable.
If it is the direction of energy law, first of all, I don’t have it. I have heard of lawyers who engage in this legal field, but there are corporate legal counsel lawyers who specialize in the forestry and mining industries. You may consider them.
Lawyers in the above two fields usually sign one case and are patent agents. People are charged on a piece-by-piece basis, which can be tens of thousands of yuan per case. When a corporate legal consultant signs a contract with a company, it is calculated on an annual basis, usually 30,000-200,000 yuan a year. In practice, a lawyer can sign contracts with more than 10 companies.
