People were walking on the streets, feeling the very modern atmosphere. Sometimes they would meet some men and women wearing very luxurious clothes. Obviously, they were probably Hollywood movie stars. Of course, even these people stood in the popular culture of today's world.
The top of the line is also very vulgar in Liu Lang's eyes. No matter how fashionable the clothing of this era is, it cannot be compared with that of thirty years later. It can be said that even China's "rural people" will wear it thirty years later.
Much more fashionable than these movie stars.
After a while, several people turned into an alley. There was a shop on the edge of the alley with the name Lin's Legal Consulting Company on it. This was the law firm opened by the Lin family in the United States.
There are more law firms than any other store in the United States. Americans can do without buying some products, but they absolutely cannot do without their lawyers.
In the eyes of many Chinese people, lawyers are just a profession for litigating cases, but lawyers in the United States only have this "function". For example, applying for green cards, citizenship, immigration, etc. are all entrusted to lawyers because only lawyers are qualified to handle them.
The information of each handler is submitted to the government department.
Lin Zequan once told Liu Lang that there are now as many as one million lawyers in the United States, accounting for 40% of the world. Why are there so many? This is inseparable from the United States' principle of governing the country by law, and it is also due to various
There are so many laws that even the most famous lawyers cannot master them all. They can only rely on large numbers of people to master these legal provisions.
In addition, American law is based on case law, and the sources of various cases are as vast as stars. Non-professionals are completely blind, and professionals are blind if they have not been exposed to it. Therefore, the threshold for lawyers is relatively low under this system.
It is much higher. The decision of the verdict depends more on the ability of the lawyer, so their income is also very high.
Although they are all lawyers, lawyers are also divided into categories, and there are eight categories.
First of all, there are private lawyers, which account for the majority of all lawyers. To outsiders, there are so many American lawyers that they mainly refer to private lawyers in the United States.
Then there are the MPs and assistants, who mainly serve the MPs, such as investigating, hearing, demonstrating and making suggestions on the draft laws submitted to Congress, and then sending them for discussion and voting. The preparation and coordination of these tasks are all completed by lawyers.
Judges and assistants, as the name suggests, are assistants to American judges, and there are more than a thousand judges in the United States. Every judge must be a judge of the Federal Supreme Court, a judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, a federal district court judge, and a state court judge.
Equipped with multiple lawyers.
Government lawyers. There are ninety-four federal districts in the United States. The prosecutors in each district are government lawyers and are appointed by the president. Similarly, major government agencies also have government lawyers.
Corporate lawyers, every major company in the United States has its own legal department, and they only serve major companies.
Civil rights lawyers. There are a group of lawyers in the United States who specialize in serving blacks and other ethnic minorities, women, disabled people, and other disadvantaged groups who have been discriminated against. They are called civil rights lawyers. They are mainly represented by the U.S. federal judiciary.
The Department of Civil Rights is responsible for this.
Part-time lawyers, these lawyers are mainly active in the legal education community.
Public interest lawyers. These lawyers mainly provide legal aid, environmental protection, and public interest legal services. These lawyers account for the largest number of lawyers in the United States.
There are so many types of lawyers alone, which is enough to show how popular lawyers are in the United States.
Lin Zequan is a lawyer himself, but he also feels that there are too many lawyers in the United States. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as overwhelming. But does the United States really need so many lawyers?
Lin Zequan studied law in the United States. For Americans, on the one hand, they criticize lawyers, but on the other hand, they cannot live without lawyers. Even if they want to "kill all lawyers", they must first hire a lawyer to represent them and argue how to do it.
A series of issues such as killing, when to kill, who to kill first, what to do after killing, etc., ultimately proved that they still cannot do without lawyers. They seem to have not thought about life without lawyers.
In fact, the political life, economic life and even daily life of the United States have told us that the United States not only needs so many lawyers, but also must need so many lawyers, because the United States was designed and established by lawyers.
, and later it was unified by lawyers, so it was led by lawyers.
More than 200 years ago, when the United States was founded, there were 52 people who signed the Declaration of Independence, 25 of whom were lawyers; when the United States Constitution was formulated, there were 55 representatives who participated in the Constitutional Convention, of which 31 were lawyers.
Lawyers, including the most influential representatives of the time, such as Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, John Marshall, John Adams, Daniel Webster, etc.
In addition, in the history of the United States for more than 200 years, more than half of the members of Congress, more than 70% of the president, vice president, and cabinet members are lawyers. It can be said that lawyers have changed the United States, lawyers have made the United States, and lawyers have perfected the United States.
to the United States.
In the United States, no matter how many people there are, lawyers are needed. No matter how many people hate them, lawyers are necessary. Even if they cannot be president or governor, lawyers are still important. Because in the United States, lawyers are no longer just
It is not just a profession, not just an industry, not just a group, not just a class, but a force, a culture, and a symbol.
In Liu Lang's eyes, a country with many lawyers means that the country's legal system is very complete and the dignity and power of the law are reflected in every aspect. This kind of society is the closest to a legal society.
Of course, the American legal system also has limitations. At least you have to be rich and can afford a lawyer to help you litigate. Many poor people need help from the state to even eat. How can they afford to hire lawyers?
The Lin family's law firm provides legal services to wealthy people. In the more than a year since its establishment, it has taken on some work and has litigated lawsuits for some third- and fourth-tier Hollywood stars. The winning rate is still very high, and it has made a small amount of money.
The most important business of the Lin family's firm is Liu Lang's Shengtang and Huo Tianting's companies, mainly Liu Lang's Shengtang Culture, because everyone can see that the future of Shengtang Culture is promising, and it can even compete with Marvel.
The company is very competitive. If you can become a corporate lawyer for Marvel, not to mention the income, your network of contacts can be expanded countless times.
As long as you can break into the upper class of the United States, wealth will continue to roll in.
Everyone walked into the law office. There were two white staff inside. When they saw Lin Zequan walking in, they stood up and said hello.
There are four staff members in Lin's firm. In addition to Lin Zequan, there is also his sister Lin Liwan. Both of them are graduates of famous American universities and have no problem with their professional knowledge. There is also a young white lawyer named Oka.
Fu, three of them are lawyers, and the remaining one is a service staff. Even this service staff is also a law graduate and is usually responsible for collecting some information.
