本文通过分析中华人民共和国建立之初实行律师制度的过程,指出:律师制度在20世纪50年代末期的中止是当时放弃了新民主义社会理论背景下所产生的一个必然结果,这是当时政策转变使然。并认为,当时本着要建立一个有别于旧世界的新社会,对于律师制度的认识还不是很充分,尤其是对律师的阶级立场及其自由职业性质还存在着疑虑。因此,如何调和两者之间的矛盾,一时就成了一个难解的问题。 By analyzing the process of implementing the lawyer system at the beginning of the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, this article points out that the suspension of the lawyer system in the late 1950s gave up the inevitable result of the theory of the new-democratic society at that time.
