At present, most areas have announced the status of receiving legal C certificates, and many people have already received the certificates. In the "Reform Outline" released by the Ministry of Justice in 2018, it was stated that the total number of practicing lawyers in my country will reach 620,000 in 2022. By the end of 2019, there were already 473,000, so the gap is only 147,000.
First of all, if you want to become a formal practicing lawyer, you need to take the law exam, receive a legal professional qualification certificate, and then enter a law firm for one year as an intern and pass the assessment to obtain a lawyer's practicing certificate. Only those who have obtained a lawyer's license can officially practice law.
It takes about 2 years from taking the law examination, to receiving the certificate, and then to officially practicing law. That is, it takes 2 years for a law examinee to become a formal practicing lawyer after passing the law examination.
Therefore, the total number of practicing lawyers nationwide in 2019 only includes candidates who passed the law examination in 2017 and before, and does not include the number of candidates in 2018 and 2019.
2018 was the first legal professional qualification examination. More than 604,000 people registered, more than 473,000 people took the objective exam, more than 180,000 people took the subjective exam, and more than 110,000 people passed the exam and achieved passing results. .
In 2019***, 606,000 people signed up to take the law exam, and there were 250,000 candidates for the subjective questions (including 70,000 people who failed the subjective questions in 2018). Legal professional qualifications were granted in March 2020 There are 100,412 people in the personnel list, including 11,577 C witnesses and 88,835 A witnesses. These people do not include fresh graduates.
Even if you don’t count fresh graduates, there are 210,000 people who have passed the law exam in the past two years. Since lawyers are a very popular practice in the legal industry, nearly 10% of those who pass the law exam every year Half of them will choose to be lawyers.
Nearly 100,000 law candidates in the past two years may choose to become lawyers. If these 100,000 are excluded, the gap in the number of lawyers will be less than 50,000. Therefore, those who have passed the law exam in 2020 The number of people only needs to exceed 100,000.
Compared with previous years, the number of students will be smaller, so the passing rate of the legal exam may also decrease accordingly. Even if the passing rate will not change much this year, after this year, as the number of people in the legal industry increases, , the difficulty of the exam will definitely change.
