What's the difference between Dazu and a lawyer?

The main work of general lawyers has nothing to do with litigation, including supervising the granting of property, managing the estate, drafting wills, dealing with legal issues related to employment, marriage and company registration, and preparing for hearings, such as meeting witnesses and issuing writs. The parties can contact the lawyer directly.

The work of lawyers can be roughly divided into four categories:

A) litigation

In a primary court, such as a local court or a district court, a lawyer may represent the parties in court. In the High Court, unless the hearing is held in chambers, lawyers must entrust barristers to represent their clients; He himself is responsible for the preparation of relevant litigation, such as sorting out evidence, meeting witnesses, drafting defense, conducting preliminary litigation, etc.

B) handle the transfer certificate

When a house or other property is mortgaged, the ownership transfer formalities must be handled. Relevant documents are drafted, signed and sealed in the lawyer's office, so that the ownership is transferred from one party to the other.

C) consultation

Lawyers spend most of their time providing oral or written legal guidance to clients. Everything, big or small, can be discussed. In this way, the parties can know the legal status of various things.

D) general services

Including the establishment of companies, trademark registration, drafting wills, handling inheritance trust and inheritance, divorce and alimony, execution of loan contracts, stock trading, company transfer, joint ventures, commodity trading, etc.

(2) barristers

A barrister's job is mainly to represent clients in court. He must be guided by the interests of the parties concerned and never consider personal interests or the consequences for others. Trial lawyers also advise lawyers on complex evidence or legal issues. A barrister is often regarded as a "legal adviser" and his profession is collectively called a "big room". His work includes the following:

A) consultation

Once entrusted by a lawyer, senior lawyers immediately put forward suggestions on the legal status of civil or criminal cases. When giving advice, barristers will instruct clients whether to take legal action, and at the same time list other feasible methods, use their knowledge of legal procedures and compensation, analyze the facts of the case, weigh the possible benefits of different legal actions, and then make suggestions to clients.

B) preparation for handling the case

In civil proceedings, barristers must accurately grasp all the points related to the proceedings before the trial, list these points in the indictment or defense, and instruct lawyers to prepare the evidence presented in court. In criminal proceedings, barristers should spend most of their time preparing questions in advance, questioning witnesses' strategies, and emphasizing some important facts or legal points.

C) appear in court

When appearing in court, the barrister's task is to make a statement on behalf of the client, find out the facts in the case through questioning and cross-examination, analyze the evidence at the same time, weigh the weight of contradictory evidence, and then make a final statement. It is also one of the scope of work of barristers to apply for bail, reduce sentence and handle other intermediate actions on behalf of the parties.
