What are the career prospects of lawyers?

Lawyers are not as difficult as civil servants, but also the counterpart field of law major and the main choice for many graduates. The income composition of lawyers can be calculated in two ways: one is paid, the firm pays wages, and the lawyer is responsible for litigation; The other is that lawyers don't get paid and rely on lawyers to find customers according to their business commission. At present, China adopts a strict access system for lawyers' qualifications, and they must pass the national judicial examination. Employment prospects are also related to personal ability, which varies from person to person.

First of all, lawyers earn a relatively high income. Take litigation lawyers as an example, each lawyer can handle about 15 cases every year. According to the current low fee standard, each case costs 3,000 yuan, and the annual income of lawyers is about 50,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, a lawyer's annual net income is around 30,000 yuan. If only from this figure, the absolute income of lawyers is not high, but from the perspective of work income per unit time, the income of lawyers is relatively high. Taking litigation cases as an example, the total time for lawyers to file a case and hold a court session is less than 40 hours, and the total working time for 1 and 15 cases is about 80 working days, which means that the lawyer's workload of 4 months can guarantee the survival of 12 months. This is based on a lower cost level. For some experienced lawyers, the fees for some cases have to reach 20,000 yuan or even more than 200,000 yuan, and the income level at this time is considerable. Therefore, the income level of lawyer profession is relatively high compared with other industries.

A lawyer's job is intelligence and cleverness. At present, when choosing a career, people not only hope to get higher income, but also hope to learn more practical knowledge at work; The ideal occupation is an intelligent occupation that can not only make people learn knowledge, but also combine different knowledge. The profession of lawyer is first and foremost knowledge-based. They should be familiar with the law of 6.5438+0.3 million words when they pass the lawyer's exam, and there are countless relevant laws, regulations and policies to learn when undertaking a specific case. Reading the law can make lawyers master a lot of knowledge. The profession of lawyer is still a wise profession. The method of choosing law and evidence in each case varies from person to person and from thing to thing. Non-legal professionals sometimes have no way to start. Only by judging the facts and laws at different levels through experience can lawyers accurately apply them to specific cases and protect the interests of clients to the maximum extent. This application process, especially the debate in court, is an arena of legal wisdom and a comprehensive test of lawyers' knowledge and wisdom to the highest degree. Professional requirements and training enable lawyers to apply knowledge learning and wisdom to two tasks that cannot be used frequently in other professions. It is this day-to-day vocational training that makes the lawyer profession a representative profession of knowledge and wisdom, and makes all classes that lawyers can enter become social elites; Because of this, lawyers are universally respected all over the world.

The development of lawyers' profession. Because of the professional knowledge and wisdom of lawyers, lawyers have rich experience in enterprise management and urban management, so in the process of lawyer development, many people turn to other industries, with two directions, one is enterprise management and the other is urban management. From the perspective of enterprise management, the business cases handled by lawyers are all cases of enterprise management, and the clients contacted by lawyers in the process of handling cases are mostly enterprise management. In the process of communicating with enterprise managers, lawyers can learn some key technologies of enterprise management and market operation, which ordinary employees need to accumulate for a long time and lawyers can master quickly; Moreover, a large number of cases have laid a good foundation of human resources for lawyers to establish their own business relations, and created good conditions for lawyers to develop into enterprise management, making some lawyers temporarily leave the lawyer business at an appropriate time, develop into their familiar consulting industry and management industry, and become excellent entrepreneurs. The second direction of lawyers is urban management. The purpose of law is to protect the person, property and freedom of citizens and legal persons. The law expresses this purpose in words, while the government completes this protection process by establishing organizations. Lawyers have a clear understanding of the purpose and value of the government in the process of applying the law, and have a deep understanding of adjusting the relationship between the government and enterprises and between the government and citizens in the process of handling cases; Therefore, once lawyers enter the city management, such as mayors, judges, deputies to the National People's Congress, etc., they can start from protecting the political interests of citizens and enterprises, adjust the conflicts of interests of all social strata and groups through various legislation, and make the city move towards the rule of law, thus establishing a good employment and investment environment and continuously improving the living standards of urban residents. Because of this, most presidents and lawmakers in modern developed countries come from lawyers, such as Lincoln, the famous president in American history, and Clinton, the current president.

Freedom and independence of lawyer profession. As a profession, the fundamental purpose of lawyers is to help clients get out of trouble in court. Lawyers are litigation lawyers first, and then with the development of the times, consultant lawyers appear. But even today, litigators still account for the vast majority of the lawyer profession. Litigation lawyers generally do not have fixed working hours and work arrangements are relatively free. They can go to work or not at ordinary times, which gives lawyers a lot of free time, reduces the waste of time caused by daily commuting, and also gives lawyers more leisure time than other professions, which not only gives lawyers the opportunity to learn knowledge, find markets, enter new fields, but more importantly, allows lawyers to think freely. Moreover, due to the protection of a country's judicial system, lawyers, as lawyers with a lot of judicial privileges, have the opportunity to independently investigate evidence, meet the parties and express their personal opinions to the court. Everything a lawyer does is only bound by the law and does not need the consent and criticism of other organizations and individuals. The independence of this way of working makes lawyers have relatively perfect independent personality. For other professions, collective organizations are often given priority, and for lawyers, it is this free and independent way of working that not only becomes an effective way to protect the interests of clients, but also brings lawyers huge profits that cannot be realized in other professions. This is the source of many people's envy of lawyers' work style.
