What they say

"It's urgent to make the process for entering the legal profession stricter, and urge the current attorneys to improve their professional ethics. The lawyers association should play its role in supervising the industry, giving members more education and training. Lawyers protect clients' rights and maintain the authority of the law. We don't want to see them disobey laws or do something out of line."

Hong Daode, law professor at China University of Political Science and Law

"We have to say every industry has someone whose behavior damages their field of interest and is a negative influence on society. Just as we are saying to protect and pay attention to lawyers' rights, we should also regulate and improve ourselves. We cannot do what laws forbid."
