Abstract

The fact that there are practicing attorneys in an area does not mean legal services are enough provided and meets citizens’ needs. Ordinary people have an image that lawyers and courts are fearful and difficult to access. But as a shihoshoshi lawyers, I want to change such a situation. To this end, I have tried to make myself more accessible to a wider range of people, to improve efficiency in business and to enhance client satisfaction. In this process, I have worked with other legal professionals and with various organizations, if necessary. The important thing is that legal professionals make their effort to meet citizens’ needs. In order to achieve this goal, lawyers are required not only to raise their legal expertise, but also to raise their communication skills and to promote collaboration with other professionals.
