Every February 3, the International Lawyer’s Day is celebrated, a date to recognize the work of those who exercise this profession and seek to make the world a more fair place.
The law career is one of the oldest at the University of Guadalajara and has the mission of training professionals committed to integral development, sustainability and justice.
According to the House of Studies, the work of the lawyer is to provide legal certainty to citizens in general, in addition to fighting for justice based on legality and laws, as well as being the promoter of protection and guaranteeing human rights.
Advocacy can be exercised from various fields, such as the jurisdictional route, teaching, research, legal advice of companies, in public offices, in private institutions, among other areas.
“I consider that the lawyer has an integral and multidisciplinary training that allows him to exercise in any work area,” said Law teacher Juan Carlos Jiménez Mejines, coordinator of the Cusur lawyer.
According to Jiménez Mejines, the skills with which a lawyer should count is to be an ethical person, who fights for the culture of legality, that his act is based on unrestricted respect for the law, to human rights and always with A mood of empathy, of social responsibility for community service and society in general “a person who proposes solutions that benefit both the person who goes to his advice and the other party.”
Some obstacles faced by a lawyer range from the oversaturation of the labor market, the stigmas and prejudices that exist in relation to the profession, says the teacher in law.
The academic said that another of the obstacles facing the profession, and perhaps the most worrying, is the violence that the country currently lives and the lawyers face people with situations that put them in a state of danger that leads them to request support from the public force to be able to carry out this type of actions that was not necessary before.
On the other hand, Jiménez Mejines considers that this profession has to change, since from the beginning it has been associated with the issue of conflict, dispute and controversy as something negative, and although it is part of the law, it must be Implementing another form of problem solving and not necessarily going to the jurisdictional route to give a solution, since it suggests that “the conflict is not necessarily negative, but that it can be an opportunity to improve or adapt something.”
It emphasizes that it is indispensable and necessary for lawyers to generate an environment of union, where professional ethics is what protrudes and the actions of each one in their area or professional practice are respected, which can generate a radical change in this profession.
He adds that “an ethical and professional lawyer, who is trying to form the University of Guadalajara contributes a lot in social change, in the change that the country needs towards a culture of peace and legality.”
There is no register of lawyers in Jalisco
Marysol del Río González, Coordinator of Law of ITESO, explained that there is no record of how many lawyers there are in Jalisco because there is no register of lawyers who obtain each year.
He commented that Every client should be certain that the lawyer who hires is prepared with the card, however this does not guarantee that certainty because a lawyer with a professional card is legally empowered to exercise in any civil, criminal, family, but in knowledge.
“More than the card, the client must be guided by proven experience, prestige and other indicators such as professional career, recommendations,” he said.
Marisol del Río also considers that it is important that you participate in a Bar Association and have the academic titles that support it.
“That is to say if we go with a criminal lawyer where we put freedom at stake, that this person accredits with the specialization that is competent in that matter, not to go to a general lawyer,” he said.
