Abstract

The Protection of Client’s Interests, as Arising from the Right (Requirement) to Rely On Legal Professional Privilege in China, Compared to Polish Solutions – the Development of the System. Part III. The Chinese Model of Mutual Relations between the Attorney and the Client until 1949

The process of developing legal profession, as well as relations between the attorney and the client in China was significantly delayed and only began to exist in the beginning of the 20^th century, in comparison to Europe. This legal institution has a crucial importance for the Western legal culture and it appeared in China thousands of years later for various reasons. The most important of them was undoubtedly the conflict between the philosophical schools and the legists, which led to the lawyers’ defeat. Consequently, it created a marginalization of their role in China for the next two millennia. Hence, the main reason for the public distrust against the jurists, which have had not been overcome until the modern times.
