What does a lawyer s day to day job and status look like

Let's talk about the daily work of a lawyer who has been practicing for 8 years.

From trainee lawyer to paralegal to independent lawyer to partner, in fact, along the way, the content of the daily work has not changed much, and the business direction may be adjusted, but the way of working has not changed much.

First of all, the person to report to, in fact, is to be an independent lawyer, and the object of reporting is yourself, your client or a team member. If you are a salaried lawyer, you must report to your boss, but this kind of report is different from the previous one, which is more for the purpose of explaining the work. The first type of reporting, where no one supervises you, requires more self-discipline and is important, which involves your own case management, communication with clients and communication with your team.

Secondly, the indicators to measure the work, of course, income generation is one aspect, but each lawyer has different resources. You can't insist on comparing yourself to others. The success rate is also an indicator. I think the most important thing is customer satisfaction.

Thirdly, the service objects of the post are divided into individuals and enterprises. Individuals mainly serve some marriage, inheritance, real estate, equity, etc. Enterprises also look at small and medium-sized enterprises or listed and listed enterprises, and the service content is slightly different, the former is mostly perennial legal counsel and scattered random cases, and the latter will have more mergers and acquisitions, private placement projects, as well as legal opinions for specific events.

Finally, lawyers really have to deal with many people, in addition to colleagues and clients, as well as courts, procuratorates, public security, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments. Moreover, when we provide legal services, we can also learn a lot of industry knowledge from our clients, especially corporate clients, and expand our knowledge in many fields.

The lawyer's daily work is to communicate with the client, constantly fight with others every day, talk about some case issues, and give the client a legal explanation, so that the client must achieve satisfactory results, and his work state is particularly tense, constantly from the legal knowledge he knows to give the client a perfect satisfaction, can explain to the client in an easy-to-understand way

The lawyer's work state is often non-stop talking, and life is full of busyness. The lawyer's qualification certificate is very difficult to examine, even after the exam, you must constantly follow up the update of laws and regulations, and the daily work status is often constantly playing or talking, which is very hard. Life is often at a busy pace and annotations climb.

Sometimes there is something urgent, and I have to go out to meet people at night.

A lawyer, if he is a good lawyer, his work schedule is very full, and the lawyer who has nothing to do is very idle, that is, he does not have a case at hand.

Before I crossed the LLM examination, my understanding of the profession of lawyer was mostly in legal dramas. After I actually entered the job, I found that different people lived different lives as lawyers. I work for a red circle law firm in China, doing non-litigation business, and what I describe today is basically a working state of a non-litigation lawyer in a red circle law firm.

Pick up the leaks and strive for the maximum benefit of the defender.

Don't know about others, only talk about yourself.

One, passed. He obtained his qualification certificate in 2013, began to prepare for internship in 2014, began a one-year internship period in 2015, obtained his lawyer's license in 2016, and is currently a partner of the law firm.

Second, qualifications. The so-called big and important cases are not handled, and they are nothing more than the daily chores of ordinary people, and the number of them is large and the fees are not high, which are all normal charging standards. Several cases of legal aid must be handled every year, and if it is a special difficult situation, take the initiative to apply for assistance for the parties, and so far there have been dozens of legal aid cases.

Satisfaction is still within reach.

Three, attitude. I don't dare to say how dedicated I am, but my sense of responsibility still exists, and many times I will have preconceived ideas when handling cases, and there are times when my face is red. In the face of false lawsuits and perjury, it is difficult to hide the anger in my heart.

Fourth, income. Although the number of cases is large, but busy every day, the cost will be relatively large, the case is handled in the surrounding area, and the annual vehicle mileage is about 30,000 kilometers per year. The overall income is estimated to be just a solution to the problem of food and clothing, not a high salary.

Fifth, time. Many people say that lawyers have free time, indeed, but it also means the freedom to work overtime. According to the general statistics, from 2017 to the present, in four years, the daily working time of 12 hours can account for more than 8 percent, and less than 8 hours, not more than one month; Going to bed before 10 p.m., no.

The most impressive thing is that last year, I only went to my daughter-in-law's prenatal check-up, because a divorce case was handled for nearly two and a half years for some reasons, more than ten times. However, if there is no way to have a notice, you have to go, and if you can't finish grinding and chirping, you will open it again.

Sixth, harvest. If you have a general desire for money, you can eat and drink, and leave the rest to the soul. Anyway, I think I am responsible enough for the parties, respectful enough for public officials (except for those who do not deserve respect), and respectful enough for the law.

Since the beginning of practice, there have been countless pennants, awards, honors, and praises, which can be regarded as a trace of comfort and joy in the middle of the night.
