Tang Fangjing wasn't surprised when the Lawyers Association came knocking on his door, as he had prepared for this possibility when he was getting ready to take on the case.
The Lawyers Association, according to legal provisions, is a social organization, essentially similar to the Consumer Association, and is of a self-regulatory nature.

Even many years ago, the heads of local lawyers associations were officials from the judicial departments. Of course, that has all been reformed since, but the Lawyers Association still holds a lot of power.
