Chinese lawyers are playing a key role building up the nation’s economy.
Ensuring construction projects are legal is a major problem in national economic policy-making, said Gao Zongze, president of the All-China Lawyers’ Association.
“Legal consultations decide if the project can go ahead or not,” Gao said.
Statistics shows that more than 100,000 lawyers in China are now spreading their wings and entering virtually every aspect of life.
Beijing alone licensed its 10,000th practising lawyer on Monday, becoming the first Chinese city to break the milestone.
Chinese lawyers are encouraged to participate in not only economic but also political affairs…
According to Gao, 1,656 lawyers have been elected as deputies of the National People’s Congress, the country’s legislature, and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference at various levels.
