On August 25, the draft amendments to the Lawyers Law were submitted to the 24th session of the 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee for second review. The draft is in line with the Legal Aid Law to encourage and support law firms and lawyers to participate in public service legal services and provide legal aid in accordance with the law. The draft stipulates that the country actively develops the foreign-related legal service industry, strengthens the training of foreign-related lawyers, supports law firms to improve the level of foreign-related legal service capabilities, encourages the legal industry to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, safeguard the legal rights and interests of clients, and develop high-quality services and open up to the outside world at a high level. The draft also suggests that lawyers are protected by law when practising in accordance with the law, and that no organization or individual may infringe on lawyers' legal rights and interests. People's courts, people's procuratorates, public security organs, national security organs, administration of justice departments and relevant units shall establish and improve systems to guarantee lawyers' right to practice, and protect lawyers' right to practice in accordance with law within the scope of their duties.
