In order to further improve the professional skills and professional level of young lawyers of Shandong Yiheng law firm, fully demonstrate their speculative style and good professional quality, and achieve the purpose of strengthening their quality and building their image externally, Yiheng law firm held the first "2020 young lawyers debate competition" in the living room of the law firm on April 11, 2020;. Six teams from Qingdao, Jinan and Weifang participated in the competition, with lawyer Zhu mengke as the host. Professor Ma Weidong, vice president of the Law School of Qingdao University, was specially invited as the guest of honor. Directors and lawyers including Qi Wei, Miao Ke, Zhang Anjun, Xiang Yong, song Daoguo, Zhang Xiaofei, Chen Yu, Chi Jun, Zhang Weina and other directors and lawyers were invited to serve as judges. No.1Is substantive law more important or procedural law more importantThe debate started with Mingfa Shangde team and brave heart team! The Zhengfang Mingfa Shangde team shows their style with the slogan of "vigorous and vigorous, self-cultivation, argumentation and elegant conduct", while the brave heart team of the opposite side uses the slogan of "fighting all the time and being puzzled all the time. Why should we fight! &"It conveys their faith!The game begins! The two sides have had a heated discussion on whether substantive law is more important or procedural law is more important.  Zheng Fang believes that substantive law is the premise and leading of procedural law, and substantive law sets the actual relationship between rights and obligations; in the legal system, the proportion of substantive law is far more than that of procedural law, and the practicality and status of substantive law are definitely beyond the scope of procedural law; the social value of substantive law lies in universality, and the social value of substantive law is more important!On the contrary, procedural law is the guarantee for the correct implementation of substantive law and the realization of substantive rights; the procedural and negotiated nature of procedure is the driving force for the generation of substantive power; the development of substantive law is the result of the application and accumulation of procedural law; procedural rules can correct the bias of substantive rules and make up for the loopholes of substantive rules. No.2Is it more important for lawyers to succeedIn the second debate, the brave heart team and the rich and strong team were on the stage. As soon as the rich and strong team members came on the stage, they made everyone laugh with their slogan "rich, strong, rich and strong". However, after the competition, the brave team immediately pulled everyone into a tense atmosphere and discussed whether the foundation of success or the opportunity of lawyers is more important. Zheng Fang thinks that the foundation is the foundation of lawyer's success, while opportunity is just icing on the cake. It also points out that the foundation can change opportunities and create opportunities; opportunities in hand do not mean success; the success of lawyers should also highlight the value of lawyers, which are not what opportunities can bring.On the other hand, the opposition refutes the argument that the foundation can not be completed or even has the problem that the foundation is wrong; lawyers can not succeed only on the basis, but also can be realized through opportunities. No.3Do lawyers need professionals or generalistsThe third game is the game between Fuqiang team and Mingfa Shangde team! Zheng Fang holds the view that lawyers need more professionals. They put forward that the refinement of social division of labor determines that we lawyers need to take the road of specialization. Lawyer professionalization is the demand of clients. In the fierce competition for talents, professionals are irreplaceable.On the contrary, lawyers need generalists more. They argue that lawyers are different from jurists. They think that lawyers are a profession that pays attention to practice. The legal problems encountered in practice are various. The complexity and diversity of conflicts and disputes determine that lawyers must have multiple abilities to resolve conflicts for clients and stop litigation. In addition, there are often cross legal issues in different legal fields. In many cases, legal affairs can not be solved perfectly by relying on a single law field.No.4Whether the law is tolerant or notIn the fourth game, the dream team and the truth team from Jinan came on stage. The slogan of the dream team was & quot; the road to dream, never give up & quot; and the slogan of the truth team was & quot; reasonable and reasonable & quot;. The two teams are fighting against the issue of "whether or not the law is friendly or not"!The team of Zhengfang dream thinks that the law is not sentimental. They believe that once law and emotion can not be distinguished, the result will inevitably violate the dignity of the law and destroy the legal order. Legislation is the confirmation of rights, obligations and responsibilities. It is also a process of interest coordination. Since the birth of law, it has deprived the function of emotion. However, judicature does not allow emotional function to be mixed into it. Therefore, it is necessary to replace law with emotion;.The anti truth team believes that law is also tolerant, and they put forward the following views to refute the positive side: in troubled times, we should pay more attention to the law, and the prosperity of the world should be tolerant of the law. It is because of the tolerance of the law that the harmonious socialist China has been achieved. Good law has its own temperature, and the law also has applicable ideas. Law can not be detailed in every detail, so we need the spirit of law to guide us to make the best judgment The ultimate purpose of law is not to punish, but to guide, evaluate, predict and educate. The law of tolerance is the law respected by the public. No.5Should young lawyers pay more attention to independence or cooperationThe fifth game is between the truth team and the law giant team from Weifang! As soon as the slogan of the law giants was published, everyone began to look forward to their performance. The two sides debated the issue of whether young lawyers should pay more attention to independence or cooperation.Zhengfang truth team should pay more attention to independence in the practice of young lawyers; This point of view puts forward: independence is the primary goal of young lawyers' practice, all kinds of abilities need to be mastered by young lawyers as soon as possible, they can handle independently, and they can be independent, so that they can have better development; the basis of cooperation is independence; cooperation should be an equal relationship, not interdependence. Only by paying more attention to enrich themselves and improving their ability, can they pursue cooperation.However, the anti law giants should pay more attention to cooperation in the practice of young lawyers; This point of view puts forward: young lawyers just practice, will encounter various problems of lack of experience in practice, independent building a car behind closed doors is obviously inefficient, and concerted efforts to solve the problem is the best policy; independence should be the focus of old lawyers who have been practicing for many years, and young lawyers should pay more attention to cooperation; from the long-term development of all walks of life, cooperation is moving towards common prosperity.No.6Should practicing lawyers pay more attention to reputation or income generationIn the sixth game, the legal giants and the dream team came on stage, and their debate was & quot; should lawyers pay more attention to income or prestige & quot;.We are lawyers, not businessmen, not entrepreneurs. Without prestige, we may achieve a small income, but a greater income is absolutely inseparable from the boost of prestige. Our ultimate goal of lawyers should not be to generate income but reputation.The anti dream team thinks: focusing on income generation can provide us with a solid backing, so that we can better provide legal services for the parties. In the case that the basic survival needs can not be met, will the parties trust you? How do you build your reputation? No.7Final: should young lawyers be more professional or moralThe end of the six games represents the end of the preliminary stage. Mingfa Shangde team and dream team finally fought against the heroes and reached the final!At the beginning of the final, the players from both sides held on to the debate whether young lawyers should be more professional or moral. Zheng Fang put forward the following argument to prove that young lawyers should be more professional; The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and fine work is the foundation, which is the primary purpose of young lawyers; the professional ethics pursued by lawyers is to solve the disputes between the parties and safeguard the interests of the parties, and the young lawyers who can not solve the disputes are immoral; the cultivation of morality emphasizes the long-term process, while the fine industry pays attention to the results. At the stage of young lawyers, it does not mean that they do not cultivate morality At this stage, professional ability is the main contradiction, and moral quality is the secondary contradiction. We should concentrate on solving the main contradiction.On the contrary, the opposition points out the following arguments to refute: it is the duty of young lawyers to concentrate on professional work, while cultivating morality is a long-term plan. Blindly pursuing the profession and neglecting the morality is bound to cause chaos in the industry, which is not conducive to the long-term growth of young lawyers. The justice that lawyers protect needs to be inherited by young lawyers. It is precisely because young lawyers shoulder the hope of the lawyer industry and protect the core values of society, we should pay more attention to moral cultivation Only by taking & quot; de & quot; as the first, can we sincerely cooperate with law firms and industry colleagues, help each other in the same boat, and create a win-win situation. No.Slow Ride During the debate, the specially invited guests, Mr. Ma Weidong, vice president of the Law School of Qingdao University, as well as Qi Wei, Miao Ke, Zhang Anjun, Xiangyong, song Daoguo, Zhang Xiaofei, Chen Yu, Chi Jun, and Zhang Weina made wonderful comments on the debate.The judges commented on and guided the performance of the contestants from the aspects of language expression, logical reasoning, refutation ability, on-the-spot reaction, overall cooperation consciousness, image and typhoon. We give full affirmation to the contestants who can fully prepare and actively participate in the short time, show their meticulous logical thinking and good eloquence in the debate field, give full recognition to the professional skills of lawyers who can speak eloquently, and praise the players' desire for team honor and the momentum of flaunting Fang Qiu. At the same time, the judges also put forward their opinions on the individual shortcomings of the contestants, encouraging them to make up for their own shortcomings and forge ahead bravely on the road of lawyers in the future.The judges also had an in-depth exchange with the contestants on the topic. They shared their thoughts and feelings on the definition of a successful lawyer, the value of lawyers, the relationship between fine work and moral cultivation, etc., and reminded young lawyers to pay attention to their "being able to speak and defend themselves"; I hope that young lawyers will get better and better in both work and life, and put forward valuable suggestions for the confusion of young lawyers on the road to practice. No.Best debaterAfter seven contests and a lot of intense evaluation by the judges, Lawyer Wang Lili and lawyer Qi Luyao won the title of "best debater in the first youth lawyers debate competition in 2020" by Shandong Yiheng law firm! Mingfa Shangde team won the title of "best debating team"!Finally, director Zhao Chunyong made a summary of the debate. He highly praised the young lawyers who actively participated in this debate contest, expressed thanks to the judges for their hard work for the growth of young lawyers, and affirmed the lawyer Zhu mengke and other staff who organized and presided over the debate.Director Zhao said: Yiheng Institute has always paid attention to the training and development of young lawyers. The debate competition requires young lawyers' language expression ability, adaptability and on-the-spot ability. It is hoped that young lawyers can understand their own advantages, see their shortcomings and learn from each other through participating in the debate contest. At the same time, these arguments themselves are also worthy of constant consideration and exploration by lawyers. I hope that all of you can get a harvest in this debate. I also hope that young lawyers will adhere to the idea of "respecting the law, refining industry and cooperation", and become the backbone of Yiheng Institute and forge ahead bravely
