	Legal Profession in China
		A legal foundation for the development of legal profession in China was specifically laid down in the "Provisional Law on Lawyering in People's Republic of China," which was passed during the Fifteenth Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress on August 26, 1980.
		The name "legal counseling services" was again used for law offices around the country and lawyers were regarded as "state legal workers." The size of the legal profession began to grow as a large number of people, who were formerly involved in lawyering or worked in political or legal branches of the government, became lawyers.
		The legal profession in China, however, is still at its fledgling stage and distantly behind in comparison to its counterparts in developed countries.

		Increase of Litigation and its effects on the Legal Profession.

	DISCUSSION PAPER ON TRANSFORMATION OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		There is a lack of equality within the legal profession with regard to qualification requirements for admission to legal practice which leads to the undesirable perception that some lawyers have a higher status than others.
		The Qualification of Legal Practitioners Amendment Act 1997 amended the Admission of Advocates Act 1964 and the Attorneys Act 1979 by introducing a four-year undergraduate LLB degree as the minimum academic qualification for admission to practice either as an advocate or as an attorney.
		For instance, a candidate legal practitioner might be allowed to choose any one of a number of routes to enter the profession, or might be required to undergo a specific kind of vocational training for a particular branch of the profession.

	Legal Profession
		Legal Profession bibliography (W. Bradley Wendel, Washington and Lee University School of Law)
		The legal profession is the concern not only of regulators such as bar associations, legislatures, and courts, but also of moral and political philosophers, sociologists, historians, and novelists.
		The profession is governed by its own disciplinary rules, frequently referred to as "codes of ethics" (an unfortunate label, in my view, because it equates the resolution of moral questions with following the rules).
