February** Dynamic Incentive Program
Today, I will mainly analyze the law majors with you, starting from the aspects of learning experience, employment status, professional scenarios, entry instructions, and which students are not suitable for these aspects.
After graduating, you will become a calm person with legal thinking and be able to better understand what fairness, justice and balance of interests are. In the field of law, the major with the largest number of students is law, with an annual enrollment of 85,000 90,000 students, of which 33% are male and 67% are female. However, because as long as there are teachers, law majors can be opened, resulting in a serious oversupply of graduates in this major.
The difficulty of learning law should be divided into two points, the first point is that his study is of medium difficulty, but its examination is of medium to high difficulty, and its difficulty lies in the fact that a large number of articles need to be memorized and a large number of cases need to be studied. In terms of exams, students who study law must pass the judicial examination with a pass rate of only 15%, and after passing the judicial examination, you have to step over the mountain of postgraduate entrance examination, so it is not very easy for students who study law.
The main courses of the law major include civil law, criminal law, constitutional law, jurisprudence, criminal procedure law and civil procedure law. In terms of training cycle, law majors are medium, that is, graduate studies are recommended. Because at the master's level, it will be subdivided into a certain field of law to deepen its cultivation, for example, our dear teacher Luo Xiang studies criminal law. If you're planning to go further into law, it's only natural to do a PhD. The professional barriers to this major are medium to high, because the law requires a large number of articles, needs to be memorized, and has to pass the legal examination, and it is more difficult for the average layman to enter the law, but it is not impossible.
In fact, in the United States, there is no law major at the undergraduate level, and it is only at the master's level that this major is offered, because they believe that law should be built on the basis of other majors. China's law graduate school entrance examination also has a special examination for non-law undergraduates, which is a way for students of other majors to study law.
The typical counterpart professions of law majors are civil servants, lawyers, and corporate legal affairs, and the corresponding industries of these professions are, within the system is the public procuratorate, the tax bureau, the industrial and commercial bureau, and outside the system is the law firm, the corporate legal department, the advantage of the law major is that the job satisfaction is very high, the income is medium, but the employment rate is particularly low, this is very simple, half of the postgraduate examination is filtered out, and half of the judicial examination is filtered, then only 25% of the students can graduate with a master's degree and pass the judicial examination. If you still have to take the public examination, then filter out another batch, and the employment rate will naturally be very low. In the vernacular, it is difficult to find a job by studying law, and the income after work is moderate, but job satisfaction is still very high.
In terms of work pressure, the work pressure of law majors is relatively large, and it is common to work overtime to deepen the work. If you become a lawyer, this is a typical 28 division profession, 20% of people earn 80% of the money, or 80% of people earn 20% of the money, and it takes a long time to accumulate resources. If you become a civil servant, in addition to crossing the hurdle of the public examination, the work intensity of the public procuratorate and law is not low, and it is normal for judges to hear hundreds or thousands of cases a year, and overtime is the norm, so the pressure of studying law is still relatively large.
The profession of lawyer is very employment-oriented, and they generally work in the local area where they are studying, because the alumni circle is a very important resource for lawyers, especially in top legal schools such as five colleges and four departments.
In fact, it is non-litigation business that makes money by studying law, such as the legal department of multinational companies, financial institutions, high-tech, environmental protection, intellectual property, anti-liquidation, anti-subsidy, and anti-monopoly, and the income of lawyers in these fields is relatively high. Another characteristic of lawyers is that there are more cases of children inheriting their father's business, because lawyers' resources can be transferred to their children. Speaking of which, I believe that most parents and classmates have already understood that if you are not a graduate of a prestigious school and have no resources at home, then when a lawyer has a long growth period, before the dawn comes, the income of a young lawyer is relatively low, and the work is relatively hard.
For law majors, everyone complains a lot about the difficulty of the law examination, the postgraduate entrance examination is very papery, the public examination is too difficult, the lawyer is very tired, the income is low, and being a lawyer is very dependent on resources and overtime. Therefore, students who want to apply for law majors should be mentally prepared for the above.
The law major has been around since the beginning of the university, and it has been more than 900 years since then, and the law major is still active in society, so this major will not disappear in the future. But as a profession that has been developed for hundreds of years, it would be irrational for you to expect it to suddenly become popular. This profession will always accompany us in our lives, just like language, like education and other majors. However, with the development of AI, low-end legal consulting may be replaced by artificial intelligence, and students who plan to study law must go to a higher place, starting from being admitted to the lineage of the five colleges. The five academies refer to China University of Political Science and Law, East China University of Political Science and Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, and Northwest University of Political Science and Law, and the lineage refers to the law departments of Peking University, Jilin University, Wuhan University and Chinese Renmin University.
