Written by Wang Houlong, a lawyer at Shandong Chishan Law Firm, on April 23, 2024
I work as a lawyer and have been doing it for twenty-eight or nine years. I don't remember exactly how many years, from 1995 to the present.
I started working as a lawyer with a lot of anxiety, and in the past fifteen or sixteen years, I will not have this anxiety, and it will be very relaxed.
The more anxious you are about working as a lawyer, the worse you will be at doing your job, and the more anxious you are, the better you will be able to do your job as a lawyer.
I don't think lawyers can put extra pressure on themselves. In order to save face, or to spend money in advance, some lawyers take out mortgages and car loans, which adds unnecessary pressure to themselves, and they are eager to earn money to repay these debts every day, which produces more anxiety. I can't calm down all day. If the mood is not calm, then the lawyer may behave irrationally in the process of receiving and handling the case. It is also possible that in order to make more money, they will resort to unscrupulous behavior.
Originally, the work of a lawyer is a kind of work that requires a high degree of concentration, and if you add extra pressure to yourself, it will increase the anxiety outside the picture.
I think that to work as a lawyer, you should relax your mind, work as a lawyer easily, and get pleasure from your work.
