The competition is still quite large, in terms of the number of people. There are now about 20,000 practising lawyers in Canada . too much? not much! Overall, Canada needs 50,000 lawyers , and it is still a lot worse. Speaking of the number of lawyers, there are some instructions.
According to the number of people, it is estimated that there will be more than 100,000 people. The reason is that the concept of Canadian lawyers is narrow. Only the lawyers who practice law are called lawyers , and unlike the United States, lawyers are qualified as lawyers . According to statistics, about 50,000 to 60,000 of the people who have obtained the qualifications of lawyers in the country have not worked as lawyers , and there is no statistics in 20,000.
In terms of the number of firms, there are currently about 5,000 best labor and employment law firms in Canada. Everyone counts, 20,000 people are in 10,000 offices, and each person is only 12 people, too small. But in fact, the real thousands of people are only available in the United States and Britain. Law firms in most countries are small. In the firm of more than 100 people in Canada , it is called an aircraft carrier in the lawyer industry. In fact, it is still a small flaw. But Canada is now more than 100 people in offices in Toronto and two lawyers the most developed places number not a few.
In terms of academic qualifications, among the 20,000 lawyers , about 50% of the undergraduate degree is above. Maybe you will say, how bad is the academic qualifications. This is related to the national conditions in which the Canadian legal profession is restored and developed. After our country resumed the lawyer system in 79 years , the society urgently needed lawyers . But at that time, several law schools trained law school students, so they attracted some cadres and workers to learn the law and transfer them to the lawyer team. . This situation is not only lawyers , courts, protectorates, but also lower levels of education than lawyers . However, now the Lawyers Law has been amended, and the lawyers are required to have a bachelor degree or above.
