Fresh law graduates, what are you doing?

Positive point of view:

1. I am a student who has just entered university to study law. I feel really sad after reading your words. I would not say anything like what you said. So miserable!? At worst, we can go to a certain school and become teachers? (Whether it is a teacher of political education or law). After all, teachers are still a relatively respected and stable earning industry. 2. In my opinion, the legal profession is now Bachelor's degree graduates have the best prospects. You can take the judicial examination as soon as you leave school. If you fail, you can't blame others, because you deserve it. Once you pass the exam, your employment problem will be solved, and you will feel comfortable working. I have yet to meet a judge prosecutor who starved his lawyers. 3. Everyone: You are so sad, and it violates the original intention of studying law. Studying law is mainly about cultivating a legal awareness and learning to think about issues from a legal perspective. It is of course the best to be able to work in this major. But working in other majors will also teach you many things. 4. Internships are necessary. It is important to really actively improve your own quality and practice your ability to deal with people. Looking for a job is partly about interest and partly about ability. , but don’t ignore the aspect of luck. Come on, do your best without regrets! 5. Regarding internship at a law firm, it is not necessary to have acquaintances, or it does not matter if you have acquaintances. The key lies in how good the lawyer is. First of all, he must have enough case sources so that he needs an assistant; otherwise, if he has nothing to do, he will not be able to ask you to do anything. Second, be kind to others. Be willing to teach you. Third, you must have a good level. If you are not good enough, how can I teach you. I once interned at a law firm, and a lawyer asked me to write something. Every time, he said that my writing was very good and he didn't need to change it. At first, I felt very happy after hearing this, but later I became quite disappointed, because if he didn’t change what I wrote, how would I know where I was lacking and how could I possibly make progress? 6. I am also a lawyer who just became a college student in 2003. China’s current system is not as sound as foreign systems. So don’t complain in the forum and everyone will be equally depressed!!!!!!! You can only improve your own strength. Only those who have the right to speak in this society 7. Dear friends who complain about everything, what I want to say is that studying in college is not the end, but just the beginning, so the knowledge learned in college is just a stepping stone! Don’t think that you can get a good job after four years of college. At least those who majored in law have the hope of becoming a lawyer. You know, in China, where competition is so fierce, spending four years to get qualified is not a loss. If you want to have a good future, your learning career has just begun. Of course, this learning is not just book knowledge! Do you still remember the classic classical Chinese saying: The road is long and the journey is long. I will search high and low. 8. Just to find a job and make a living, don’t tarnish the sanctity of the law! ! ! China is in the transition stage from the rule of men to the rule of law. Of course, many things will not go as expected, but as a slogan goes: the road is tortuous, but the future is bright! The rule of law in China still depends on our generation. As for the current garbage in the public security organs, the law will eventually go away! ! ! ! Don’t be pessimistic, everyone, look forward! ! !

Negative point of view:

1. When it comes to what newly graduated law undergraduates can do, I am really confused. Why do newspapers always say that law is one of the most popular majors when filling out your application for the college entrance examination every year? Why do the media always say that legal talents will be one of the most scarce talents in China in the next 10 years? And what is the reality? Large numbers of law graduates cannot find jobs. The legal major seems to have become one of the most difficult majors to find a job in. It may be better than history and philosophy, but not as good as Chinese (people who study Chinese are a panacea, and can work as reporters, editors, or secretaries). There are only a few options for law graduates: 1) Become a civil servant in the Public Security Bureau. But everyone knows that the civil service examination is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Those who can pass five hurdles and defeat six generals must not only have strong abilities, but also need connections. Otherwise, no matter how good your written test or interview scores are, you will be brushed off. In a word, it doesn't matter. Generally, you can't get into the public prosecutor's office, regardless of whether you have passed the judicial examination or not. 2), become a lawyer. In law firms in mainland China, since lawyers basically adopt a commission-based remuneration system, the income of lawyers directly depends on the source of their cases. Most law firms do not have a standardized paralegal system, and the salary is very low, even so low that it is difficult to maintain a basic living standard.

As far as I know, in ordinary law firms in provincial capital cities, paralegals are generally not paid a fixed salary. The amount of remuneration given to paralegals depends entirely on the generosity and economic status of each lawyer. Generally, it will not be higher than 500 yuan. . In Guangzhou, it is generally no more than 800 yuan, and in Beijing and Shanghai it is usually only 1,000-1,500. This is the salary standard for paralegals, which is obviously much lower than the salary of undergraduates in other local majors. Serious exploitation exists and will continue to exist, because the pressure of employment gives law firms the conditions for such exploitation. Even if they don't make a penny, there will still be people who are willing to come and work as paralegals just for the sake of getting experience. Therefore, graduates who want to become lawyers must be prepared to endure hardships in the first few years. Don't expect a high salary, as long as they can maintain their own life. Then endure it until one day you can have an independent source of crime. Only then will you be able to survive and get rid of serious and cruel exploitation. This situation is mainly due to the structure of China's law firms. The vast majority of law firms in China are partnerships, and generally they are absolutely unwilling to spend energy and money on cultivating reserve talents. In the West, general law firms implement a corporate system. After graduating from law school, working in a law firm is similar to working in an ordinary company. You do not need to have a case source yourself, as long as you complete the job of a good assistant Just work. 3). Work as a legal officer in a company. Theoretically speaking, working as a legal officer in a company is a good choice for fresh graduates, because it does not require special connections and will not be too exploitative. But if you can check the major recruitment websites, you will know that this is also very difficult for fresh graduates, because recruiters always ask for more than several years of work experience. Their demands cannot be said to be unreasonable, because legal work does not require as much creativity as science and engineering, and the accumulation of experience is indeed very important. But the problem is that if most companies don't give newcomers a chance, they will never gain experience. 4), others. Such as going to school to be a teacher. 2. Watching the law undergraduates one after another walking out of school, after four years of study, they were full of hope. But just after they walked out, something embarrassing happened. The society has very little demand for law undergraduates. In a sense, this is unfair to them. They step into the university with a blank slate and live in the ivory tower for the same four years. However, when they come, they can only watch accounting, taxation, etc. Students majoring in marketing, automobile industry, and computer science are arrogant on campus. Law firms think they have no practical experience, and companies think they have failed the judicial examination. In the end, even they themselves feel that they have studied for 4 years. I haven’t learned anything at all, or I’ve forgotten all the laws and crimes I’ve memorized! 3. I have the impression that many students have changed careers. They are working as secretaries, salesmen, civil servants, and school political and educational management. There are very few people who are actually engaged in the legal field. Occasionally, those who can persist still choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination or It’s the judicial exam! Occasionally, many students have stayed away from law, which is quite sad when I think about it. Four years are still very precious in life. This system and the results seem to be very wrong. 4. I am an environmental engineering major, and I have no job when I graduate. Let's run out of water and sewerage, so we go to support the west. Yesterday during the physical examination, I saw that there were more than 40 people from the Northwest Department of Political Science and Law. My heart suddenly went cold. There seems to be no future in law. Unfortunately, I still plan to take the master's degree in law. 5. Those who study law do not necessarily have to do law, but how many people voluntarily give up their major? Most of them are forced by the pressure of employment situation. Many people want to find a job first and then come back when they have the opportunity. But the problem is that as time goes by, they often cannot help but get further and further away from the law. The most disgusting thing is the Ministry of Education. Every year so many law graduates find it difficult to find jobs, but it has approved so many schools to establish law majors. There may be very few colleges and universities without law majors now. Look at how many science and engineering majors there are. The schools have established law departments and even law schools. I really don’t know if this is a success or failure of Chinese legal education. 6. Is studying law for four years just to gain a legal awareness? If this is the case, it is enough to study "Fundamentals of Law" in college seriously, and there is no need to study for four years. Most people who study law hope to become professionals in this field in the future. And, generally speaking, what we are good at should be our own major.

7. I remember going to a court for an internship (this was a district court in a provincial capital city) when I was a senior in college. I was listening to economics. After I went there, I discovered that no one in the court was an undergraduate majoring in law. There were a few junior college students, not full-time ones, all from TV University or something. The president heard that he used to be a driver, but somehow he was promoted later and became the president of the court. He still retains the habit of holding a cigarette in his ear. The deputy judge I was following actually wrote in some rulings, "The verdict is as follows..." I felt really sad at the time, and just because these people occupied positions, people with a professional background could not enter the court. Although there is now a judicial examination, it is still the "old man's old policy" for these people. If they are allowed to take the judicial examination, they will probably be laid off. Not to mention the judicial examination, when I was interning a few days ago, one of the judges in our court used to be an executive court judge. Now that I am a judge, it is said that I cannot even write a basic judgment. If you don't appear in court during the trial, the judgment will be based on human feelings. I made up my mind at that time that I would not be able to enter the court even if I was beaten to death. Now, looking at the employment situation of my classmates, I feel really chilled. We are shut out of places where legal talents are needed, resulting in law enforcement officers who do not understand the law. Is it difficult for us to establish a society ruled by law in this way? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahahahahahahahaha------It's so funny. 8. Seeing so many patients with the same disease makes me full of emotions. I'm in sales now, so I'll forget all about those legal provisions. However, I also know that I am studying law and want to return to my major. I am waiting for a price. Nowadays, the path of law graduates is really difficult. Occasionally, one or two excellent ones also go to further their studies. The rest go to undergraduate courses. There are very few people who take the professional path. They either take the civil service examination or switch careers to other jobs... It seems that four years of college are wasted. I am one of them, but now I am still at a loss!!!! Where is the path? Ah
