In recent days, the results of the official administrative sanctions issued by the Hunan Judicial Department have been brought to the attention of the legal community: Shelli Chi, former President of the Hunan Ludy City Bar Association, was legally revoked and his certificate of practice for criminal offences was cancelled.


The Hunan Judicial Department ' s decision on punishment shows that the Shining District People ' s Court found that Shelli Ji was guilty of a criminal offence and sentenced to a number of offences and penalties, which were eventually imposed on him for two years and one month, and a fine of 200,000 yuan yuan.
After the first instance judgement, Shelley Chill had appealed and subsequently voluntarily withdrawn the appeal, which was interesting.

According to the official website of the Loudei Bar Association, Shelley Chill was once on the same footing as the head of the Department of Justice. From the lead in the bar to the violation of criminal law, not only is the end of a person ' s career complete, but it also strikes a heavy alarm at the entire bar.
The judicial administration immediately after the criminal decision was taken, initiated a disciplinary procedure. The Ludé City Judicial Department has been required to verify the facts and to clarify the facts of the offence and has formally submitted to the Hunan Judicial Department a recommendation for the suspension of the lawyer ' s certificate of attorney.
The right to be heard, to be heard and to be heard by the Tribunal is fully guaranteed. After a thorough review of the evidence and decision-making documents in the case, the arguments of Shelley Chill were ultimately rejected and a formal administrative penalty was imposed for the revocation and cancellation of his certificate of practice as a lawyer, in strict compliance with the relevant provisions of the Law of the People ' s Republic of China on Lawyers.
At the legal level, the most moving aspect of the case was never the “lawyer's arrest warrant”, but the collapse of the firm's president.
The Bar Association is a self-regulatory organization of the profession, with the President as a preacher and supervisor of the industry ' s standards, probabilities, rules of practice. The leaders who have been the speakers of the practice line and who have regulated the conduct of their peers have finally broken the legal red line and touched the high-pressure line of criminal law.
The ordinary lawyer is guilty of criminal offences, and is a personal failure. The industry leaders have broken the law, shaking public trust in the legal profession and dissolving the credibility of the industry ' s self-regulation.
The Shelley Cheikh case once again confirms a simple argument: trade titles, professional qualifications, social identity, never being a illegal talisman, but rather a higher standard of restraint.
