Bar politicians: Fu Xi » Xi disaster »

May 6, 1985, the U.S. Federal Court Chief Justice Rehnquist in a rally speech entitled "American history, lawyers politicians," the speech, Rehnquist in his speech to warm tribute to the U.S. Historical development of the two major turning point by the emerging "lawyer politicians": They are adept skills of lawyers, but also a remarkable contribution to the politicians, they drive the federal boat had a smooth one reef, will be taken to the U.S. Brilliant the other side of the world.

Yale Law School professor Anthony »Kelong Man in his book" The Lost lawyers "in the further development of the" lawyers politicians, "the concept of lawyer politicians will be summed up as" a wealth of practical wisdom and special convincing, and dedication to public service Is well aware of the limitations of human and political structures ".

Bar politicians can be said to be ideal lawyers in politics most typical manifestation of the law who is also the country's best practice, and this happens to be the practice in the world's number one power in the United States. The U.S. political situation in the slightest understanding of the people should know, lawyers and even the more generalized the legal people have already deeply penetrated into the internal political life of the United States, the United States political leaders.

It is precisely such a successful politician's lawyers to practice law all over the world who has brought the hope of political, so that lawyers become politicians ideals across borders in many other countries and regions to pursue the dream of legal persons, and China's Taiwan region can be said Is a very prominent example. Unfortunately, the situation in the Taiwan region of the practice seems to be ideal for lawyers and politicians who rule the law provides a practice runs counter to the counter-examples that Luo Zhiqiang and Chen Chang-wen issued a strong ask: legal, Why do not you Clear the Air » !

In this affect a wide range of works, the two authors of the cases detailed discussion of the legal profession in Taiwan in various sectors of the disappointing performance of these industries, including legal politicians, lawyers, prosecutors, judges and law professors. Focus on the author, it is quite legal access to the political status of the various after a disappointing performance, including the performance of course we are very familiar with the series of scandals. The criticism focused on the book series on the "role of« self-examination. "

Although the authors themselves were human law, many critics object or even their own students Gujiu, but the author did not ease the intensity of their criticism. But the author does not just stop at criticizing, as described by the author himself: criticism of the law does not Clear the Air is the end result of the law or how the people of the Clear the Air. Therefore, the next writer from Taiwan's long-term development of the rule of law and history of deep structure to tap the law were the reasons for today's performance and made some constructive proposals. Perhaps too strong moral criticism obscured the author in the law to save people's constructive proposals on the efforts, the book in the system of the building may have room for development. But as the author's own explanation: "This is not to discuss the ethics of the legal academic book", its greater significance lies in like cattle horsefly like to stimulate politicians indulge in an ideal realization of the Law Society's Feast of the law, it is not completely From the academic perspective to be judged.

In my case, another significance of this book is to provide a legal alternative for people of the country the practice of the report. According to Yao and Li Xue Feng Jianpeng "in the Health Law and the Taiwan independence elements ---- between the DPP a high-level study of sociology," the statistics, Taiwan's political leaders in the proportion of the legal person is not inferior to U.S. political circles, in other words, at least from Taiwan has achieved a form of legal person administering the country.

However, according to "legal, Why do not you Clear the Air," a book of Taiwan in recent years and described the political, economic and other aspects of performance, the law governing the country people in Taiwan and the United States to the effect of the practice formed a sharp contrast. As the author of the book are talking about, the legal person is not necessarily the bright light of the world is likely that the law is brought to the bright people in the world of darkness. From this perspective, the law governing the country who may be a blessing to the legal person, it is not necessarily good for society as a whole.

Author of the book will be the law of salvation lies in three aspects: First, the law and consciously reflect on. Just as in the introduction, "We will encounter many of life's crossroads, and every time, we all know which way is correct, but we never elected it, because we know how difficult it the right way to go ", The author of the book more pinning hopes on the people through self-examination to the law to choose the correct path, such high expectations has always been permeated with the full text.

Legal person administering the country in two different geographical fate has provided us with the legal people in politics to seriously reflect on the opportunity. In the new historical period, the Chinese people, particularly lawyers, law began in the political arena show people the advantages of the law, lawyers and participation in politics in the number and proportion has also increased. Lawyers not only around the "two sessions", but also in the country's "two sessions" on behalf of the number and proportion has gradually increased. The famous jurist, Professor Jiang Ping on different occasions, the lawyer's participation in politics to the prospect of high expectations and evaluation.

Therefore, it can be said that lawyers in politics, lawyers politicians ideal for the current China, is not far away. This situation is the emergence of lawyers upgrade the status of a welcome sign, the rule of law is also an important process in progress.
