Features: The Lawyer's Digest is a large digest-style publication primarily aimed at lawyers, adhering to the editorial philosophy of "independent spirit and free thought." It selects articles that highlight intellectual depth, international perspective, and forward-thinking. It's a Western scene where lawyers first become judges, but in today's China, judges may resign or lose motivation and turn to practicing law instead. Several judges I taught "who pursued a Master of Laws while on the job all rushed to find a law firm and carve out a new path upon graduation. Some with a broader vision, as the saying goes, first become judges or join government agencies to build their networks before venturing into law practice. On the surface, this seems like a detour, but in reality, it's a shortcut. These people are honest and also feel helpless."
