| Though study on legal profession is a recent focus in the field of Jurisprudence, few of them is carried out by means of positivism. On one hand, this thesis is expected to be a try on it in order to induce others to put forward valuable opinions, and to test my academic ability on jurisprudence, and on another hand, to supply a positive reference on judicial reform in China.As there are not lots of thorough study on positivism on legal profession, a great length in explaining why I do so in detail is necessary in Introduction of the thesis, including the object (lawyer), method (positivism), and context (Huainan) of demonstration.There are five chapters in main body of the thesis:The object of the thesis is defined in the first chapter. The concept of legal profession and the position of lawyer among legal professions are mainly summarized from the works of western scholars and an outline of the lawyer and legal profession in Chinese context is given under the conditions of China.In the second chapter, a description of the general natural and social conditions of Huainan is given in order to supply a wide background for demonstration of the thesis.The production and development of the lawyer in Huainan is briefly reviewed in the third chapter. It is divided into third stages: foundation in the early days of P.R.C., reestablishment after Reform and Open and expansion under socialism marketing economic system.The emphasis of the thesis lies in the fourth chapter. In the part, with the materials collected by means of social investigation being analyzed, the existing state of the lawyer in Huainan is shown in four respects of faculty, business, office and status. Among them,the status of the lawyer in Huainan is observed and embodied in four respects of rate of participation in judicature of lawyer, view of legal profession with each other, opinion of the people about legal profession and rate of undergraduate taking lawyer as their future profession.Two tentative conclusions are drawn in the fifth chapter from comparing the state of the lawyer in Huainan with the economic social condition of there. One is relation between sum of the lawyer in Huainan and level of economic and social development of there. The other is relation between fees of the lawyer in Huainan and economic social structure of there.Finally, the reason why the initial objective of author can't be completely attained is explained and a pity for this is expressed.In a word, in the thesis, the concept of legal profession and its meaning in Chinese context are theoretically clarified, and the history and present situation of the lawyer in Huainan are carefully described and tentatively analyzed in a socioeconomic way so that the backward state of the lawyer in inland medium-sized city different from that in eastern coastal metropolis. The objective of the thesis lies not in attainment of aright conclusion but in a valuable try at study on jurisprudence in a socioeconomic way and doing something for positive study on legal profession. The author will feel great honored to offer propositions on judicial reform in China in such a necessary angel of view upon this thesis.
