Lawyers are an important component of the socialist legal work team and a vital force in comprehensively governing the country according to law. In the new era, China's legal industry has always resonated and moved in the same direction as the country's development. It closely follows the requirements of the national development plan and plays an irreplaceable role in serving high-quality economic and social development, promoting the construction of a rule of law in China, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the people, and serving high-level opening-up. Looking ahead to the 15th Five Year Plan, the construction of a socialist rule of law country will reach a higher level, and the status and role of the rule of law guarantee will become more prominent and critical. The lawyer industry needs to be based on the new stage of development, actively meet the national strategic needs, show new responsibilities in serving the new journey of Chinese path to modernization, and build a solid foundation of the rule of law for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. The development of China's legal profession has always been closely linked to national development and the progress of the times, in line with the overall situation of simultaneous progress. From the restoration and reconstruction of the legal system to the reform and development of the legal profession, from scale growth to quality improvement, China's legal industry has continued to grow in the tide of national development, and the legal team has become an indispensable and important force in the comprehensive rule of law. In the new era, the comprehensive rule of law is advancing in depth, and the responsibilities and missions of the legal team are constantly expanding and extending, gradually expanding from traditional litigation representation and dispute resolution to multiple fields such as legislative consultation, government decision-making, social governance, corporate governance, foreign-related rule of law, and public welfare assistance. The professional value and functional role are fully demonstrated. The national development plan provides direction and stage for the legal industry, while the development of the legal industry provides solid legal guarantees for national construction. Whether it is promoting economic transformation and upgrading, maintaining market fairness and order, or improving grassroots governance and resolving social conflicts; Whether it is serving technological innovation, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, or participating in foreign-related rule of law construction and safeguarding national overseas interests, the professional support of the legal team is indispensable. At every critical stage of national development, lawyers have adhered to the original intention of the rule of law, fulfilled their duties and missions, served the center with professional abilities, and escorted the development process with the power of the rule of law, fully demonstrating the spirit of serving the overall situation and taking on responsibilities of legal workers in the new era. With the continuous advancement of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, the self construction of China's legal industry has also achieved leapfrog development. The professional structure of the legal team continues to be optimized, with more standardized professional behavior and significantly improved service capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the deep integration of the legal industry into the overall development of the country. On the new journey of fulfilling duties and serving the development of the country, lawyers, based on their professional advantages and taking initiative, closely focus on the goals and tasks of the national development plan, and work hard in key areas such as economic construction, social governance, people's livelihood security, and opening up to the outside world, serving the high-quality development of the country with practical actions. In the main battlefield of high-quality development of the service economy, the legal team actively connects with major national strategies, focusing on key tasks such as technological innovation, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, and green low-carbon transformation, providing full chain legal services for various market entities, including compliance review, risk prevention and control, intellectual property protection, investment and financing mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy reorganization, etc. The legal industry continues to deepen the "ten thousand connections and ten thousand associations" mechanism, conducting over a million "rule of law examinations" for enterprises annually, identifying risk points and issuing "rule of law examination" reports for enterprises; By participating in corporate governance, resolving commercial disputes, and assisting in industrial upgrading, we can effectively maintain a fair competitive market environment, stabilize the development expectations of market entities, and inject strong legal impetus into the sustained and healthy development of the economy. In promoting the construction of a rule of law government and grassroots social governance, lawyers widely serve as legal advisors to party and government organs at all levels, enterprises and institutions, and deeply participate in major administrative decision-making, normative document review, administrative reconsideration and litigation, administrative law enforcement supervision and other work, effectively promoting law based administration and decision-making. Lawyers actively integrate into the diversified resolution of conflicts and disputes, promote the innovative development of the "Fengqiao Experience", resolve a large number of disputes at the grassroots level, maintain social harmony and stability through the rule of law, and consolidate the foundation of modernization of national governance at the grassroots level. In terms of ensuring people's livelihood and well-being, and practicing the people-centered development concept, lawyers take the initiative to shoulder public welfare responsibilities and actively participate in the front line of legal aid and public legal services. Focusing on groups such as the elderly, minors, people with disabilities, migrant workers, and disadvantaged groups, we actively provide free legal consultation, represent rights protection cases, and participate in dispute mediation, using professional legal services to protect the legitimate rights and interests of disadvantaged groups. With the continuous improvement of the three major platforms of public legal service entities, hotlines, and networks, the model of lawyers providing front-line, proactive, and precise services has been fully promoted, and universal, equal, convenient, and efficient legal services are more accessible. The people's sense of legal gain, happiness, and security continues to increase.

Lawyers have consciously supported the leadership of the CPC, supported the socialist rule of law in China, and consciously served the overall situation of the party and the country. The cohesion and ambition of the industry have been growing. At the same time, the construction of professional ethics and practice discipline for lawyers continues to be strengthened, and practicing with integrity and standardization has become a consensus in the industry. The overall image and industry credibility of the legal team have significantly improved. The construction of a specialized talent team is accelerating. Focusing on the needs of key areas of national development, we will strengthen the training of professional talents in scarce fields such as foreign affairs, intellectual property, financial securities, corporate governance, and environmental protection, improve the lawyer education and training system, promote the professional and refined development of the lawyer team, and provide solid talent support for serving the national strategy. The legal service model of lawyers is constantly innovating and upgrading. In line with the development trend of the national digital economy, lawyers actively use modern technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to expand service channels, improve service quality and efficiency, and collaborate online and offline legal services. Cross regional and cross domain legal service resources are effectively integrated, and the efficiency and coverage of legal services continue to improve, better adapting to the diversified, specialized, and efficient needs of national development for legal services.

With the implementation of the 15th Five Year Plan, China has entered a critical period of consolidating the foundation and making comprehensive efforts to basically achieve socialist modernization, and has put forward new and higher requirements for the construction and guarantee of the rule of law. In the process of building a rule of law China, lawyers need to actively benchmark the national development strategy, accurately align with the goals and tasks of the 15th Five Year Plan period, and strive to achieve new breakthroughs in serving the high-quality development of the country.
