The lawyer's professional ethics is of special significance to the lawyer's profession, and it can even be said to be a crucial factor to maintain the existence and development of the lawyer's profession. People often say that "the party's style is related to the party's life and death", so we might as well say: "The level of lawyers' professional ethics is also related to the reputation of lawyers and the social image of the whole legal profession, and to the legitimacy and legitimacy of lawyers' professional existence." Compared with general social morality, it has specific, clear and targeted characteristics; At the same time, violation of professional ethics will not only be condemned by public opinion, but also punished by the industry. For example, lawyer China swore: "I voluntarily joined the lawyers' team, became a lawyer in People's Republic of China (PRC) and a member in all china lawyers association, strictly enforced the Lawyers Law, abided by the articles of association of the Lawyers Association, fulfilled my obligations as a lawyer, abided by lawyers' professional ethics, worked diligently, and strived to safeguard the correct implementation of the law and the dignity of the law." Therefore, we must abide by the law, professional discipline and professional ethics in the professional process.
Two, lawyers should have a solid theoretical foundation, extensive knowledge level, diligent in learning, comprehensive. Mastering professional legal knowledge is the most basic skill of lawyers, and it is also the foundation for lawyers to settle down. "No diamond brick, no porcelain work" is a truth that ordinary people understand, and the law is a lawyer's "Jin Gangzuan". Only by polishing this "Jin Gangzuan" can a lawyer take care of the porcelain works and make them beautiful and exquisite. However, as a rule of people's behavior, law permeates all aspects of society. Therefore, lawyers should not only have a solid legal knowledge base, but also have social science knowledge such as literature, philosophy, logic, management, psychology and some natural science knowledge. By learning the "T" shape, you mean that your knowledge should be both deep and wide. Similarly, mastering legal expertise also requires skills. As Liu, Dean of Law School, said, it depends on "enlightenment". Only when you really realize it can you combine what you have learned with practical practice and use it fully and flexibly. Only in this way will our customers believe in our service.
Third, lawyers should have a high sense of responsibility. To be a good lawyer, responsibility is the most important. My understanding of responsibility mainly includes the following aspects: 1. The responsibility of the lawyer profession. Being a lawyer should not only be responsible for the cases he accepts, but also take a serious and responsible attitude towards his lawyer profession in a broad sense, be loyal to the law and facts, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of clients according to law. 2. Responsibility to customers. Lawyers are legal professionals who provide legal services. It is precisely because the parties do not understand the law that they hire lawyers to provide legal services. After accepting the entrustment, a lawyer should have a high sense of responsibility to the client and provide all legal services within the scope of legal services with your professional legal knowledge. 3. Responsibility for the case itself. After accepting a case, a lawyer should fully understand the facts of the case, collect evidence, find out the applicable law of the case, seriously talk with the client to understand the case, make all the preparations for the court session, be loyal to the facts and the law at the court session, and exercise the agency duties within the scope authorized by the law and the client.
Four, lawyers should have certain language and writing skills, the ability to analyze and solve problems and clear and agile logical thinking. Language is a tool of communication. You need fluent expression, clear your mind and make things clear. Be able to express your ideas clearly, constantly cultivate and use colorful expressions, and be unique. Lawyers are always involved in all kinds of disputes and arguments. As lawyers, they must have the ability to analyze and deal with various problems flexibly. At the same time, it also needs lawyers' strong adaptability and correct way of thinking.
Fifth, lawyers should be honest. To gain the respect and trust of the parties, we must be honest and standardize our own practices. Otherwise, it will lose the trust of the client and damage the image of the lawyer. Perfunctory, slack, or even inaction in charging for matters entrusted by the parties; Take excessive advertising, belittle others, depress prices and other means to conduct unfair competition; Providing false evidence in handling cases, or inducing the parties to provide false evidence or issue false legal opinions. It not only violates lawyers' professional ethics and practice discipline, but also seriously affects lawyers' image. Professor Jiang Ping, a famous jurist, once warned: "The image of lawyers in society is getting worse and worse. The enviable and mocking image of American lawyers is the future of China lawyers. " As a lawyer, we must have a strong sense of hardship, act in strict accordance with the lawyer's professional ethics and practice discipline, and be honest and trustworthy.
Six, lawyers should master judicial etiquette and maintain the image of lawyers. Etiquette is to add charm to one's image and the only way to beauty and freedom. A person's courtesy is a mirror that reflects his portrait. One of the etiquette of lawyers is that respect is the foundation. Respect superiors and unite colleagues; Respect for the parties, timely inform the parties about the case, and respect for everyone around them, which is the basic literacy. Treat others with a sincere smile on your face. If you don't respect others, you don't respect yourself, and you won't get the respect of the other party. The second etiquette of a lawyer is to dress appropriately, which conforms to the basic image of a lawyer. The profession of lawyer is different from other professions. The lawyer's image is directly related to the client's view of us. It is impossible for a disheveled person to do a good job in a case. The third etiquette of lawyers is that words are objective and expressive. Lawyers should express their opinions from an objective and fair perspective when dealing with anything and problems. Lawyers should be good at expressing themselves, mainly by understanding what others mean. More often, expression is sometimes expressed through behavior, action and expression. Lawyers can't communicate if they can't understand or understand other people's expressions.
Seven, lawyers should pay attention to the cultivation of future generations. For a trainee lawyer like me, the practice of many firms is to let him die, unable to get effective guidance from his predecessors, and often relying on himself for everything. This situation is even considered as a hidden rule in the industry. For lawyers who are single-handed, taking interns will only take up their energy and bring them trouble, without much benefit. But for a research institute that doesn't pay attention to professional development, it doesn't have its own talent pool, so it can only survive by finding some lawyers to collect fees. In the long run, it will be replaced by professional lawyers. If a person wants to be among the first-class ranks in line with international standards, he should take the cultivation and reserve of his own talents as the first priority, while lawyers themselves should return to such a collective if they want to give full play to their role, actively cultivate their younger generation and devote themselves to collective affairs. Personal heroism will gradually become a myth in the tide of modern economy.
Eight, lawyers should participate in the discussion of state affairs, constantly improve the important position of lawyers in the country's political, economic and cultural construction, and constantly promote the process of national legal system construction. Lawyers should have a keen political mind and "persist in serving socialist economic construction, socialist democracy and legal system construction, and serve the consolidation of the people's democratic dictatorship and the long-term stability of the country." In accordance with the requirements of the "socialist legal concept", focusing on reform, opening up and economic construction, we will provide high-quality legal services for establishing and improving the socialist market economic system, developing the economy, enhancing comprehensive national strength, and promoting the development of advanced productive forces; Through solid and effective work, maintaining normal social order, promoting healthy trends and cracking down on crimes are conducive to promoting the legal process in China; By providing legal services, with the aim of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, we will safeguard the people's democratic rights and safeguard the fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people.
A qualified lawyer is not accomplished overnight. Passing the judicial qualification examination and obtaining a lawyer's license is only the first step to enter the threshold of lawyers. We need to turn legal knowledge into practical problem-solving ability, not just theoretical argumentation and logical reasoning on paper. This practical ability is improved with the increase of practice. Quote a wise saying of American Justice Holmes: "The life of law lies not in logic, but in experience." Therefore, for us who are about to enter the legal profession, we should constantly understand and explore with our hearts. A firm and passionate Guangzhou lawyer's song rang in my ear again: "Protecting fairness and justice is a concern for all sentient beings. . . . . . ; Walk with the law, no regrets; Walk with righteousness and live up to your mission. . . . . . ; Don't flinch when you are in danger, the lawyer will keep it in mind! "
If you really want to be a good lawyer, I hope to adopt it. ...
