The life of an ordinary person is both close to and far from the law.On the one hand,the law influences our lives all the time;on the other hand,as long as one doesn't encounter legal problems,the law seems distant,let alone a profession like that of a lawyer.Many people learn about the profession of a lawyer mainly through films and television works.Well-dressed,eloquent,imposing,high-income,and elite...To some extent,a lawyer is a byword for"high-end,elegant,and superior".In fact,behind this veneer of superiority lies a thick stack of case files,newly issued or revised laws and regulations that keep coming out,judicial interpretations and guiding opinions of the court,and an endless stream of new cases.There are countless days and nights spent without rest.

True effort is the persistence day after day

The classic saying goes that Aristotle once said that what ultimately determines who we become is the persistence day after day."I don't have any particularly better experience,nor have I handled any major and important cases,"Lawyer Yang said modestly when talking about her professional experience."Over the past twenty years,I've just been diligent,conscientious,and meticulous in handling every case."Being diligent and conscientious sounds simple,but few people have the tenacity to consistently carry it out.Since starting her practice,Lawyer Yang has been a litigation lawyer.Her first job was to be an assistant to a litigation lawyer,starting with the simplest tasks like cutting out information and pasting notes,that is,organizing materials.Later,under the guidance of a strict lawyer,she grew rapidly and honed all her abilities.Over the past twenty years,Lawyer Yang has developed the work habits of being diligent,responsible,and meticulous.Driven by a sense of responsibility for her work,she has persisted day after day.From being unfamiliar with Beijing to being able to regard being a lawyer as a career to make a living in Beijing,it is this perseverance that has brought her here.

With diligence and conscientiousness,even a stone can bloom with brilliant flowers

In Lawyer Yang's professional career,the most memorable case is one about the recovery of project labor service fees.The most crucial evidence for the plaintiff was a settlement statement,but the defendant denied the authenticity of the settlement statement,claiming that the official seal on the settlement statement was not a legally registered seal.At that time,she thought that if the official seal on the settlement statement was another seal used by the defendant,it was impossible for the defendant to have only used it once.So,she and her team extensively retrieved the defendant's industrial and commercial files and case files,and finally found that the same official seal was used on the power of attorney issued by the defendant in another case file.This discovery ultimately turned the case from a losing situation to a winning one.Lawyer Yang believes that the final result still benefits from diligent and meticulous work.Diligent and conscientious people can earn the respect of others.There was another case with an extremely complex situation,which went through the first instance,second instance,retrial,and new trial,and the materials were extremely complicated.So,at the beginning of the court session,Lawyer Yang took the initiative to sort out the main course of the case and the main viewpoints of both parties,helping the judge quickly understand the entire case.Everyone present affirmed her conscientiousness and responsibility.

When handling a case,one should have an overall perspective and not just"treat the head when the head hurts and the foot when the foot hurts"

Lawyer Yang believes that for a lawyer,the most important quality is to have an overall perspective and not simply"treat the symptoms without addressing the root cause".Every specific case needs to be comprehensively considered.One should grasp the advantages and disadvantages of one's own side,the evidence the other side has and the possible defense viewpoints,the facts that the judge may focus on,the stage and environment in which the case is located,and so on.After that,one should mobilize the most favorable factors and carry out"comprehensive treatment"of the case to fundamentally solve the problems of the client.It is much more difficult to be the plaintiff than the defendant.If one wants to be the plaintiff,one almost has to ensure that the case can be won.Without comprehensive treatment,how can one ensure victory?If one only focuses on specific issues,the results are often not satisfactory.

A lawyer is like a"prophet",but never gives a definite answer

Sometimes a lawyer is like a"prophet"and needs to predict the outcome of a case at the beginning.However,the process of handling a case is often a process full of changes.As time and space change,the outcome of the case may also change.For example,new facts may occur,new evidence may emerge,the other side's defense may even help you,or a new judicial interpretation may happen to be issued,and so on.All these may affect the final result of the case.If a definite reply is given at the beginning,it is often not objective.

 Be calm and composed,and just do your best

In addition to being a professional lawyer and an excellent professional woman,in her daily life,Lawyer Yang is a versatile person.She is also a good mother,a good wife,a good daughter...Life has bestowed more roles on her.She believes that an excellent person needs to play each role well.In her spare time,she reads books and listens to lectures,and she dabbles in history,philosophy,and even religion,which can enhance her realm.In her work,she is diligent and conscientious,but she frankly admits that this is just her work habit,not her personality.In her daily life,she is casual,not nitpicking,and even a bit careless.The profession of a lawyer is not her favorite either;it's just that her abilities happen to enable her to be competent as a lawyer.Perhaps most people fail to engage in the profession they love the most.But being able to work hard and accomplish tasks excellently even without doing it out of love is also a kind of heroism.Regarding her future practice,Lawyer Yang doesn't have overly high expectations.She will still continue to treat every case seriously and face every result calmly and composedly.Avoiding mistakes and omissions is her minimum requirement for herself.Make the most thorough preparations,strive with all your might,and for the result,just accept it calmly.
