- Abstract
In the past four decades, many Chinese scholars have been paying attention to the future development of the lawyer industry and committed to promoting the improvement of the Chinese lawyer system. Among them, loyalty is an external requirement of lawyers’ professional ethics, and at the same time, the lawyer’s “dual identity” forms internal professional constraints. In order to protect the rights and interests of lawyers, this article uses literature analysis and comparative analysis to clarify the core elements of lawyers’ loyalty obligations, and explore the reasons for conflicts in lawyers’ loyalty obligations under different identity attributes. This article believes that only when the rights of lawyers are fully protected and the professional environment is optimized can this problem be solved fundamentally, and it puts forward some suggestions to promote the harmonious development of the lawyer industry.
