Features: Joining the World Trade Organization marks the entry of China's economic development into a new era—an era of internationalized business. The mobility of talent in business and law will become globalized, talent evaluation standards will internationalize, and education must keep pace with global development. The commercial society has long been depicted by Marx as a complex and intricate machine, with law being the mechanism that maintains its operation. Law is not merely about the principles of morality and justice, nor is it solely the fair doctrines of preaching theories, but rather a highly operational, precise, and specific professional technology. This book elaborates on the professional responsibilities of lawyers from aspects such as the relationship between lawyers and clients, the duties of loyalty and confidentiality, the delivery of legal documents, and the status of lawyers in public relations. It analyzes the challenges faced by the legal profession and looks ahead to its future. The key cases and insightful commentary in the book effectively help readers understand the responsibilities of lawyers toward clients, the judicial system, third parties, and the public. Through thorough analysis and research, An Introduction to the Professional Responsibility of Lawyers guides future lawyers to recognize that professional responsibility is more important and critical than professional skills. The book is concise yet thought-provoking, making it suitable for use alongside other case textbooks on the ethics of legal practice.
