Current Situation and Prospect of Digital Construction of Contemporary Chinese Legal Community

Abstract: The research of the legal profession community was really carried out in China after 2002, and it is only more than 20 years until now. The advent of the new era and digitalization provides a new political and technical environment for the construction of the legal profession community. In recent years, there has been much insight into the construction of the legal profession community in the digital age, with the global Big four accounting firms re-entering mature legal markets (the US, Australia and the UK) by investing heavily in technology. This paper first analyzes the construction status of China’s legal profession community. At the same time, considering the complexity of China’s legal system, we used the SLEPT model to sort out relevant studies both inside and outside the domain, introduced functionalism and Weberism, and speculated on the possible structure of China’s future legal profession community. Based on this structure, this paper analyzes the current emerging AI legal market competition. Finally, based on the above research, this paper explores the new ideas of digital construction of contemporary Chinese legal professional community.
