[Reporter Wu Zhengfeng/Taipei Report] The National Lawyers Federation’s second election of directors, supervisors, and member representatives was counted on the 3rd. Including most of the directors and supervisors, it is scheduled to take office on New Year's Day next year.

Youmei said that it will expand the participation of lawyers, so that all walks of life can run more smoothly with the assistance of lawyers, and create a law society that strictly abides by financial discipline to create glory together.

Youmei pointed out that lawyers are the guardians of human rights and important consultants to resolve disputes. However, only 17% of the cases in our country employ lawyers to assist, which is not a high proportion.

As for the number of public welfare hours that lawyers should serve, Youmei promises to actively communicate and coordinate, fully respect the opinions of lawyers across the country, and steadily promote the drafting of relevant drafts.
