Watchdog recruits first group of public service attorneys

China's top watchdog for quality swore in 30 public service lawyers on Thursday to facilitate the nation's efforts in strengthening the administration of law at Party and government organizations.

The attorneys are the first to be recruited by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

In a ceremony at the administration's auditorium, Zhao Dacheng, vice-minister of justice, issued the lawyers qualification certificates. The event is seen as a significant step in building teams of legal professionals at Party organs and government bodies.
