In the background of social construction, the majority of lawyers, law firms in a bold attempt to the judicial administrative department of the local support, the specialized agencies, and actively explore the legal services of public welfare, occupation, professional model.
 
1, public legal service agency mode to protect the rights of migrant workers from the field and widely spread
 
Legal services of public welfare agency model first initiated by the judicial administration department of the local support of law firms, mainly to provide public welfare legal services for migrant workers.

　　Conclusion: forward in reflection
 
China lawyer is a loving people, concerned about the overall situation, responsibility, caring occupation groups. Social responsibility is the responsibility of lawyers. The lawyer of feelings of the people, through their service to allow ordinary people to benefit, fairness and justice perception in the case, enhance the legal consciousness and legal knowledge level. Lawyers are concerned about the overall situation, as the NPC deputies and CPPCC members, party, positive performance, provide the legislative, policy suggestion of high quality; pay attention to carry out an empirical study of public opinion, play a window, the practice that is transformed into the problem of Party and policy suggestions; lawyers in a variety of identity to actively participate in the construction of government under law, to regulate administrative power, improve the quality of administrative decision-making think-tank role play. China lawyer is a responsibility of the group, the lawyers assigned actively involved in letters and some other difficult, complex or active, and deal with these contradictions properly from the feelings of the people, the overall situation angle. China lawyers always loosen one's purse strings generously in disaster relief, poverty alleviation, education and other fields, and the establishment of industry funding more funds to assume more social responsibility.
 
China lawyers public spirited, bearing social responsibility, the social praise. Many lawyers, law firms has earned many honors, such as national has 40 lawyers won the national outstanding lawyers to safeguard the rights and interests of workers, and also won the "five one national labor medal". China lawyers also more and more media attention, public interest law service, whether lawyers charitable donations and volunteer participation, or as an expert in some legal business of hot events commented, is actively and widely in response to media. According to incomplete statistics, Chinese lawyers, law firms and local lawyers association is at or above the provincial level media reports of more than 1 times.
 
The ancient sages will "lead", "meritorious service", "predication" summed up as "three immortality". "Leader", followed by the crime and predication. This "three immortality" can move individuals, also can spur industry. "Lawyers Law of the people's Republic of China" the lawyer occupation as "shall safeguard the lawful rights and interests, maintain the correct enforcement of law, and maintain the social fairness and justice." This determines the lawyer is not an ordinary market occupation, lawyers should pay more attention to morality education, to make the model of social responsibility, this is the social expectation of lawyers.
 
We are in great historical moment to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation China dream, lawyers work responsibilities. I believe the future Chinese lawyer in serving economic and social development, improve their occupation environment and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of their own occupation, enhance the comprehensive strength of their comprehensive qualities and industry will have a comprehensive improvement. Chinese lawyer commitment, in the service of good society and the masses of the people, will continue to explore the legal service mode of diversified public, let people can enjoy high quality legal services to the public, and always to defend the dignity of the Constitution and laws, protect social peace and harmony, become important strength, peace China law Chinese construction!
