Recently, a young female lawyer claimed that she earned 5,000 yuan a month as a lawyer in Shanghai, but she could earn about 20,000 yuan a month when she did a live broadcast, which caused heated discussions. Under the relevant discussion post, she even bluntly said, "Let's go to the side live broadcast" and "I can't live in Shanghai without live broadcast." ”
Some netizens believe that this statement destroys the image of lawyers, and some netizens believe that young lawyers can't make ends meet, and there is no problem if they don't steal or rob live dancing.

After multiple verifications by the media, the female lawyer is indeed a lawyer of a law firm in Shanghai. In the latest video, he responded that his original intention was to recommend his peers to do live broadcasts, rather than instigating his peers to "live broadcast and dance". She entered the industry in June 22, from a trainee lawyer with a monthly salary of 4,500 yuan to a salaried lawyer with a monthly salary of 5,500 yuan, and her salary was not much left after paying the rent.
Previously, the blogger's personal profile showed that "Shanghai practicing lawyer, private message consultation on legal issues, paid." On the 24th, the profile was deleted.
The reporter recently interviewed a number of working lawyers, and they said that the female lawyer's remarks sounded a bit "quick success" and damaged the professional image of the legal profession. A lawyer who has been practicing for many years advocates that the legal profession needs to be accumulated.

Jin Huohu, a young lawyer at Beijing DHH (Wuhan) Law Firm, is 29 years old and has been practicing for 5 years. He said that when he first entered the industry as a trainee lawyer, his monthly salary was only four or five thousand, excluding the cost of living such as rent, water and electricity, and daily expenses, this salary was not enough, and life was indeed difficult, and almost every lawyer would go through this stage.
He introduced that the industry stipulates that new lawyers must go through a period of up to one year of internship, and during the internship process, they need to participate in about one month of training from the lawyers association, and after the expiration of one year, they need to go through an offline interview organized by the lawyers association, and apply for practice after passing the interview, and wait for the judicial administrative department to complete the process of approval and production of certificates, and then about 4 to 6 months before they can officially become practicing lawyers.
After becoming a practicing lawyer, the salary will increase in different proportions depending on the situation of the team you are in. Law firms are divided into two types: company system and partnership system, and the starting salary of company law firms is relatively high, which can exceed 10,000 yuan in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The girl in the video is supposed to work in a partnership law firm, and everyone's salary is related to their own team and mentor, and the income gap between lawyers is large.
As a rookie lawyer in Shanghai, her salary of 5,000 yuan is at a relatively normal but not high level.
He added that the income of the legal profession is in line with the 28th rule, and a small number of senior lawyers hold most of the high-quality cases. Due to the lack of social experience and network resources, new lawyers have few cases when they first enter the industry, and they inevitably have greater pressure. Around him, there are also some peers doing side hustles, but there are not many, these are normal.
Because of the pressure of survival, many young lawyers cannot survive the accumulation of experience in the past few years, and often choose to change careers, and most of them choose to take the civil service examination or the legal counsel of state-owned enterprises. In response to the situation of a young female lawyer working as a dancing anchor in her sideline, Golden Torch said that from the perspective of a young lawyer, her original intention was to survive, which is understandable, but her form of gaining traffic is not quite in line with the professional ethics required by the lawyer industry.
"The lawyer industry is relatively traditional and rigorous, with high requirements for practitioners in all aspects, and there are some hidden professional ethics. If this girl does not identify herself as a lawyer, or uses other more flexible ways to do self-media, it will not cause controversy. It is indeed inappropriate to use the identity of a lawyer to attract traffic, which may lead to a decrease in the recognition and trust of the lawyer profession. ”
For the experience of a rookie lawyer, Golden Torch also has some thoughts of his own. "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. It is true that the living environment of young lawyers is not optimistic, but since they have chosen this profession, they must respect and revere the rules and aura that come with this profession, defend the image of this profession, accept the difficult and difficult situation in the early stage, and constantly accumulate experience and improve themselves. If you rush too much for quick success, you may lose yourself in the entire industry. ”
[2] It is not strange for lawyers to do side jobs, and it is not appropriate to have a large contrast when choosing a side business
Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that in recent years, legal consulting companies have developed very rapidly, taking advantage of low prices to seize part of the case source, which is helpful to the public, but also brings certain challenges to new lawyers.
Newcomer lawyers have less experience than senior lawyers and therefore earn less. In this environment, new lawyers lack a stable source of cases, cannot quickly improve their experience in handling cases, and then cannot increase their income, and their income cannot be guaranteed during the first to five years of employment, which is also the only way for almost every lawyer.
The "28 rule" is very prominent in the legal profession. The lawyer industry values qualifications and strength, and the older you get, the more popular it is. When choosing a lawyer, clients often choose those who have been through many battles and are full of banners, and they do not have enough trust in new lawyers.
Without the source of cases, the income will be very small, and it will be easy to vicious circle in the long run. Newcomers will inevitably encounter many problems after entering the industry, but the work is not achieved overnight, but gradually running-in, constantly improving and cultivating themselves, and waiting for the golden period.
He said that it is not surprising that lawyers do side jobs, and many well-known lawyers wear multiple hats, and the common side jobs include publishing books, doing self-media, legal counsel, training lectures, etc. As long as the work is legitimate and does not affect the main business, this is the freedom of the individual to practice and should not be blamed or interfered with. However, in the hearts of the masses, lawyers are proficient in law, rigorous and meticulous groups, and when choosing a side business, lawyers should consider maintaining their own image.
For example, publishing legal books, opening accounts in self-media, live broadcasting, legal consultation, etc., not only help to promote yourself, but also play a good role in the image of lawyers. There is a big contrast between live singing, dancing, making funny jokes and other side jobs and the identity of lawyers, and the parties often publicize and hype as lawyers, which may play a bad guiding role and cause unnecessary controversy to the lawyer community.
He believes that no matter what country you are in, lawyers must have higher ethics and bottom lines than ordinary people. For the sake of basic living needs, it is reasonable for new lawyers to choose a legitimate side business. However, lawyers need to invest a lot of time and energy in researching cases, collecting evidence, analyzing legal provisions and cases, etc., only in this way can they better protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, and the development of side hustles is likely to affect the improvement of professional ability, and then affect self-development.
