Lawyer's character

"After more than five years of treatment, the disease of the two sisters was finally cured. They were very successful. Later, they were admitted to college and completed four years of college by working part-time. Later, they worked frugally and lived together with their father. Finished paying off the family’s foreign debt.

Their mother is now in her sixties and is not doing well outside. As she gets older, she thinks of her daughter and husband. When she comes back, she learns that her two daughters have good jobs and earn quite a lot, so she wants her two daughters to help them. She provides for her retirement.

Think about it, the family was so difficult when she was young, and this mother ran away as fast as she could without taking them seriously. How could they raise her and not let her in?

Later, the old lady went to court to sue her daughter and demanded alimony. The court ordered the two daughters to pay the old lady 500 yuan a month for living expenses.

To say that this little money is nothing to the two sisters, but they couldn't swallow this breath and refused to give it to them no matter what. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable when the executive judge executes this case. I feel even more uncomfortable than him. But after the verdict is passed, and we take over the case, I have to handle it for others, and there is nothing we can do about it.

This morning I followed the judge to my eldest daughter’s house. The eldest daughter was on a business trip and was not at home. Later, we went to the second daughter's home. The second daughter reacted more violently. She scolded her mother in front of us and called her mother unworthy of being a mother.

But what should be carried out still needs to be carried out. If it doesn't work, it can only be deducted from their sisters' wages. "After Li Mingbo finished speaking, he took out a red plum from his pocket and lit another one.

"What happened next?" Fang Yi asked. He somewhat understood Lee Myung-bak. It was indeed a bit awkward to represent this kind of case.

"Just when we were persuading our second daughter to educate her, her phone rang suddenly. It was a call from the police station, saying that her mother went to her father to make trouble, and the couple quarreled. In the end, the old lady suffered a heart attack and died!

With the parties gone, the case is over. But I suddenly felt like I was helping someone else, and I didn't understand why.

Morally, I support what my two daughters are doing, but legally, she is their mother and they do have the obligation to support her. Morality and law are like fish and bear's paw, why can't we have both? "After Li Mingbo finished speaking, he fell silent.

"From a lawyer's perspective, you have to speak for whoever gives you money, and use the knowledge you have learned to fight for the best interests of the client, even if the client is a vicious thug.

You can despise him in your heart, but you must fulfill your duties as a lawyer. Of course, you can also choose not to earn this money. Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

"I understand everything you said, but I am a person of flesh and blood and emotions. Shouldn't I be a lawyer for fairness and justice?" Li Mingbo looked at Fang Yidao.

Fang Yi took two puffs of cigarette, sighed and said, "Lawyer Li, how many years have you been practicing law?"

"Including this year, there are three years in total." Lee Myung-bak said confused.

"In the past three years, have you ever thought about changing your career?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, I thought about it. Last year, if Lawyer Chu hadn't asked me to cooperate, I might have switched to selling pancakes. It was not far from the entrance of the court, and I had chosen the address." Li Mingbo recalled.

"If there were any cases at that time, would you do all the cases? As long as you could make money and meet your needs for food and clothing?" Fang Yi asked.

"Almost, but I don't have any cases. I just consult and write legal documents. I can't make any money." Li Mingbo said.

"Everyone says that our lawyers make a lot of money, but in fact they only see the 20% or even 10% of lawyers who really make a lot of money. There are more lawyers just like us, who look glamorous on the outside, but actually do it for Life is busy every day, and the term legal migrant workers suits us very well. We rely on loans to buy houses and cars, which is no different from ordinary company employees.

There was a graduate student who graduated from a well-known university in Beijing. He studied very hard during school, joined the party, and received scholarships. He did everything.

But after entering society and becoming a lawyer, he went to a teahouse and stole several packs of cigarettes and a mobile phone. He was suspected of theft and was caught by the police. Some people say that he took the risk because he had no business and couldn't make any money. Just for a few packs of cigarettes and a mobile phone, it is a tragedy to ruin a lawyer's future regardless of the reason.

(This is a real case that happened in 2022 and also reflects the current situation of contemporary young lawyers)

A lawyer once said that our legal profession is a process of ‘raising bugs’. I think it makes sense. If you think about it, you have been engaged in cruel competition since you entered the profession.

I won’t mention the judicial examination. First, there is the one-year internship period. Not every trainee lawyer has a mentor. Although there is a nominal mentor, he may not mentor you once or twice a year. Some simply It’s just a name, it’s all about enlightenment on your own, and you can’t even see him face to face. "Fang Yi said.

"Well, that's what my master is like. He just has a name. What I do outside has nothing to do with him. It's good that he doesn't let me pay the name fee." Li Mingbo nodded.

"There are many trainee lawyers like this. They call it 'free-range', but they are actually irresponsible. In fact, they just let the trainee lawyers fend for themselves. Do you know why?" Fang Yi asked.

Lee Myung-bak shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The answer is the 'cultivation' I mentioned just now. Starting from being a trainee lawyer means that in the future everyone will engage in disorderly competition. Customers are limited, especially big customers and high-quality customers, but lawyers are becoming more and more The more I teach you, the more you will not work for the master. Instead, your master will have a competitor. This is why there are so many hidden rules in the lawyer circle." Fang Yidao.

"No, isn't it said that the demand for legal services is increasing every year? Why is there so much competition? Shouldn't supply and demand be balanced?" Lee Myung-bak said without knowing why.

"Haha! The demand for legal services in today's society is constantly increasing. According to the official statement, there are not enough lawyers. Only the number of lawyers in the beautiful country can meet the demand for legal services.

But don’t forget that lawyers don’t accept many legal requests, or they don’t think it’s worth it. Not only will you not make money if you take it, you will also lose money, such as neighbor disputes, where both parties argue over trivial matters. Although the matter is not serious, it may consume a lot of energy and time of the lawyer to deal with it. As a result, the lawyer will not be able to collect fees, and the little money earned will not be enough to support the living expenses of his family.

Lawyers are human beings and have to support their families, so many of the so-called legal needs do not make money, and may even cost money, energy, and time. Young lawyers cannot learn much experience from this type of legal services. If you do it for a long time, it will affect the improvement of your professional ability and waste yourself on worthless services.

No one pays our lawyers wages. We need to make money to support our families and children. Naturally, no one will do business that does not make money. I think this may be what you call the 'increasing demand for legal services' that cannot be met. reason.

Next time the superiors call on you to provide this kind of legal services, just listen and do it occasionally. It’s okay to do it occasionally. If you really make this kind of business your main business, I’m afraid you will have to change your profession to sell pancakes in less than a year. .

This is like a company boss trying to make a big pie. It is immoral to only mention dedication without mentioning rewards. To put it bluntly, it is naked exploitation. "Fang Yi said.
