Services for clients, lawyers professional return to the right track

1980 "Interim Regulations on the Law Society", lawyers are "the law of the State workers" 1996 "Lawyer Law" stipulates that lawyers are "providing legal services for the community of practitioners" and the newly revised "lawyer" and This changed the way: "The method referred to lawyers, is a lawyer practising certificate in accordance with the law, accept the commission or designated for the parties to the provision of legal services practitioners." Services from the state for social services, to clients, The mission of professional lawyers in a turning point.

1979, was once interrupted the lawyer system is gradually being restored. In 1980, "Interim Regulations on the lawyers", since the lawyers were defined as "state legal workers", of course, the state Public Officers sequence, the state of the salaries.







After this long a period of time, law firm as a subsidiary organ of the administration of justice departments, lawyers "to assist the people's courts of justice" This is the unclear status of lawyers in today, the embarrassing position of the causes. As of today, many people still confusion Gong Jianfa, such as lawyers and judicial officers of the distinction.

1996's "lawyer" was the lawyers and the judiciary "of the Yi other." First of all, lawyers can not be a national public officers; Second, we should be working as a solicitor resigned from state service. It was also during this period, many of the administration of justice to lay down their iron rice bowl, entered the legal profession. And that the popular Qiguan in business, they also claim to be "put out to sea." The legal profession to the market, started on the professional inspection by the public.

Each has its professional criteria. Professional standards of teachers is teaching and educating people, the doctor's professional standards are life-saving, and the lawyer's professional standards, even within the industry are not a recognized beacon. A simple example: a criminal case, the accused to his defence lawyers tell their secrets, including the investigation authorities do not have the other crimes. Is not a lawyer for his client should be kept confidential » This seemingly simple question now, it has been jailed for lawyers.

Bar is a wonderful and special industry. They walk in crime and punishment, hoax and justice, and for the cooperation between. As the law is their only weapon that they have natural justice demands due to the poor environmental practice, they occasionally act as a trading power for money brokers. They both burdened with protecting human rights community expects, the market economy under the pressure of competition.

The social responsibility of lawyers and professional responsibility is contradictory, directly concerning a judicial fairness. Justice is often a symbol of a balance, and lawyers like weight, speak for the parties, stand on the balance side, marked a real weight, it is lawyers in the judicial process in value. Counsel for the parties responsible, is in charge of justice, is responsible for the society and the State.

The new "lawyer" for lawyers professional nature of the amendment to the Law Society has finally returned to its career on track. With the increase of trade autonomy, the legal profession and the public will breed out of the social value of lawyers will also be re-publicized, this group will carry more public spirit. Whether service is targeted at countries or parties, lawyers should be the bottom line of their own conscience, as if Lord »Eldon's famous:" lawyers for any person, but never to anyone who betrayed their own.
