In people's eyes, the lawyer is a free profession, to be honest, relative to the daily on and off the clock enterprise workers, relative to the nine to five civil servants, lawyers in time may want to free some, do not need to go to work on time, also do not need to sit in the class, but free is not diffuse, free work environment, the need for strict self-discipline, lawyers seem to be free on the surface of the profession, in fact, the work of the work of a great deal of pressure, work time is usually Far more than eight hours, lawyers belong to the typical “no need to whip from the hoof”. As a practitioner nearly twenty years old lawyer, want to talk about the lawyer's self-discipline, I think this is the lawyer's work is the most essential thing.

　First, the lawyer's self-discipline, the first is to maintain a good life, work habits
Lawyer work is a strong independence of work, business development, social relations, the maintenance of personal credibility are dependent on their own, now the vast majority of law firms, is a loose collective, lawyers are busy with personal affairs, due to the industry has some private characteristics, in addition to the office, or court, the lawyer's whereabouts is generally confidential, lawyers do not have much contact with each other, the law firms also lack or can not develop effective discipline, the work habits. Law firms also lack or can't make effective discipline.
Because of the relative independence and freedom of the lawyer's profession, the lawyer's life and work rely entirely on personal self-discipline. First of all, the life and living need to develop good habits, every day to full of spirit to face the work of the disturbances, a loose, faint, the lawyer, will be doomed to sink, work is difficult to get better. Secondly, the lawyer should always keep a generous and decent attire, a wear casual, even sloppy lawyer how to win the trust of others. Most importantly, the lawyer's court, visit the consultant unit, meet with clients need to be carefully coordinated arrangements, strict punctuality. Court is necessary on time to the court, you are late to five minutes, the plaintiff may face by withdrawal of treatment; Acting for the defendant, may be encountered in absentia, these lawyers should belong to gross negligence. For the client's appointment, if indeed because of the busy schedule, to frankly do a good job of explaining, to obtain the understanding of the client. Do lawyer for a long time, sometimes can't avoid slacking off, charge a thousand promises, the service when the push and pull, this is a lawyer's big taboo, lawyers should always bear in mind that “the trustees, loyal to the people,” can't be perfunctory. These are not only responsible for the client, but also responsible for their own. A lawyer's life, work style, is lean and mean, or procrastination, throw away, to a certain extent, is the appearance of professionalism, is the embodiment of the strength of self-discipline, a self-discipline is not strong lawyers, can not be in the highly competitive legal services market foothold.

Second, the lawyer's self-discipline, the key should abide by professional ethics, shape a good image
Lawyers can be in the court of law, but the debate is jurisprudence, dispute is the fact that can not hurt people; lawyers can properly promote themselves, can also promote their own strengths and weaknesses, but can not be the only one, stepping on other people, to raise their own; lawyers can dig other people's customers, this is the law of the market, but the means of proper, do not disparage others. Nowadays there are some lawyers do not pay attention to their own words and deeds, do not pay attention to moral cultivation, under the public, bragging and boastful, denigrate peers, conceal the sea, speculation, convergence of money by any means. China has a saying: “good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.” Ten lawyers, nine conscientious, few people for you to publicize, praise; a misdemeanor, see profit and forget righteousness, a thousand people, destroyed a law firm, a group of lawyers.
The lofty character always deserves the respect of the community, although nowadays people's hearts are not ancient, the world's customary, tend to the popularity of the people, but the end of the line, do the right people can always move forward. Lawyer as an individual, or even a group, in order to win the trust of society, by the social first and respect, must have a good social image. Good social image need lawyers in the process of practicing professional ethics, strict self-discipline, respect for others, treat their peers, indifferent to fame and fortune, to serve the community, shaping the righteousness of justice and the image of the humble gentleman.
Third, the lawyer's self-discipline, the most important thing is in the practice of law in the bottom line.
Lawyer law requires “lawyers practice must abide by the constitution and law”, this is the bottom line requirements for lawyers practice. To a certain extent, the lawyer is also a high-risk industry, often face the temptation of interest, from time to time in the power of the competition, a will is not firm, the purpose of the practice of lawyers, it is very easy to commit crimes. In recent years, lawyers are not news, big cases also involve lawyers: the supreme court, former vice president of the yellow pine has a lawyer was detained, chongqing underworld crime lawyers involved, around the court of corruption, more lawyers behind bars. Lawyers often walk on the edge of justice and evil, there is no strict self-discipline, inevitably lose their footing. Lawyers can defend the evil, but never in the evil with the dirt; lawyers can love money, but must take the way; lawyers do not need to do moral saint, but the bottom line of the law must be adhered to. In the face of the temptation of money, in the face of the power and all kinds of forces of coercion, lawyers should keep a clear head, lawyers certainly know the law, but know the law does not mean that respect for the law, do not see law-abiding, some lawyers rely on their own long sleeves, but as the saying goes: play with fire will burn themselves! Get the law of the end of the sad.
Lawyer's self-discipline, is a clichéd topic, but not every lawyer can deeply appreciate, not to mention every lawyer can be practiced. Lawyer's self-discipline, is to make a living must, is the cornerstone of the world, is to keep the body of the alarm, such as spring and autumn of the grass and trees, lawyers practitioners, only self-discipline can be far!
