Chinese Lawyers System

The most prominent changes in the Chinese legal profession since its re- establishment in 1979 are: the shift in the function of lawyers from working merely in the public capacity and serving the public authority to also protecting the rights and interests of private parties; the initial formation of a legal service market; the implementation of joint management of lawyers by judicial administration authorities and by lawyers’ associations; investigations into establishing the systems of government attorneys and corporate attorneys; and the establishment and implementation of a uniform judicial qualification examination for lawyers, judges, and public prosecutors.
