My future occupation.
1. One of the most popular professions among the young people of our
country is the profession of a lawyer.
2. The profession of a lawyer is very interesting and diverse.
3. The profession of a lawyer is quite necessary for regulating social
relations in the state.
4. After my graduating from the Urals State Law Academy I can work at the
Bar, in the organs of the Prosecutor's Office, in different courts, in
notary offices, in legal advice offices, in organs of tax inspection, in
organs of militia, as well as in different firms, companies, banks,
enterprises, etc.
5. I can work as advocates, judges, notaries, investigators, prosecutors,
jurisconsults, inspectors, customs officers, traffic officers, and other
workers of law enforcement agencies.
6. To be a good specialist a lawyer should know many laws and his/her
proper application.
7. Then I will perform my duties well.
8. I have been studying theory of state and law, civil law, civil
procedure, criminal law, criminal procedure, labor law, criminalistics,
criminology, and many others since 2000.
9. Besides, any lawyer is expected to know human psychology as throughout
his/her career a lawyer will meet different people: children and adults,
the sick and the healthy; the poor and the rich; educated and uneducated
persons; people of different nationalities, languages and religions;
victims, witnesses, suspects; first offenders and recidivists; prisoners
and general public.
10. I will have to deal with a variety of people and situations.
11. That's why the profession of a lawyer may be considered to be very
difficult and noble at the same time.
12. Lawyers have agreed upon six basic elements of professionalism.
13. They are: ethics, competence combined with independence, professional
wisdom and continuing learning, civility and obligations to the justice
system.
14. The first element is enlargement of individual autonomy, good faith in
dealings, truth seeking, full disclosure, reasonable limits on
adversarial conduct and adherence to public interest.
15. The second element of professionalism is professional competence, which
must include independence in judgment and advice.
16. Competence should also involve an efficient allocation of resources.
17. There is still another element of professional competence, and that is
practical wisdom. It calls for a broad comprehension of the role of law
and of the values society cherishes, an understanding of human beings,
and a mature perspective.
18. In the context of professionalism, civility covers not only surface
politeness or courteous treatment of opponents.
19. Civility has a much deeper meaning than cosmetic courtesy. We mean
respect for individual dignity and worth.
