新中国的法学教育经过了一个曲折的发展过程。现行法学教育的理念、课程设置及教学内容不能适应社会政治、经济发展的要求,法学教育与法律职业严重脱节。应按照社会需求来培养法律人才,着眼于学生的就业来确定办学目标,科学规划招生院校、招生专业、招生规模,合理设定法学教育课程内容。对法学本科生及硕士研究生的教育应以职业化教育为主导,注重培养学生的实务工作能力。应改革高校法学教学、科研考核的评价机制,重视法学教学实务工作。 New China’s legal education has undergone a tortuous course of development. The current law education concept, curriculum and teaching content can not meet the social and political and economic development requirements, legal education and legal profession seriously out of line. The law talents should be trained according to the needs of the society. The goal of running a school should be set in view of the employment of students. The enrollment of colleges and universities, enrollment major and enrollment should be scientifically planned and the content of law education should be rationally set. The education of law undergraduates and postgraduates should be dominated by professional education, focusing on cultivating students’ practical ability. We should reform the evaluation system of law teaching and research evaluation in colleges and universities and attach importance to the practice of law teaching.
