On October 28th, an activity called “A Face-to-face Communication with the Dean” was held to have a deeper recognition of Pro. Xueyao Li, who is also the dean of Law School of SUFE. The meeting began with a video recording our images of him: handsome, brilliant, rigorous, logical and so on. Among these, some fun examples really warmed the atmosphere. A brief introduction of his achievements then was given. Professor Li is also a Doctoral tutor and mainly studies in the field of judicial principles, legal profession, power theory, etc.
The major part of this meeting was the short speech given by Mr. Li over Chinese Judicial Revolution. Law itself is a historical category, so are issues about laws and rules. The speech mainly focused on its historical background, present situation and future prospects.
Hundred-Day Reform brought advanced legal theories from European countries into China and thus started judicial revolution in real sense at the very beginning of the 20th Century. In the turmoil of the domestic and international situation, our legal system then explored its way of development. At the ages of Republic of China, people’s judiciary has built up its basic framework. After 1949, Chinese judicial reform has been into a specific route that both people’s judiciary and professional exists. Li then expressed his concern that, at present, the development of law is hard to keep balance between professionalization and popularization.
After the 18th National People’s Congress, new revolutionary measures and specific methods have been brought out, such as professionalization, delocalization and so on. To professionalize legal occupation, setting up a sound security system and a classify-controlling system are basically required. Law itself is to serve people, thus revolution also need to fulfill social demand. Though many professional vocabulary were employed to explain them, we still got absorbed in Mr. Li’s humorous interpretations and examples.
Now maybe we get more interested in how it will develop in the future. Currently, we still have some tough problems like lengthy administrative levels. Though many individuals has legal professional license, plenty of them are not in legal-practical positions. They probably are section officers, fleet leaders or something else. Only 60% of all these licensed people are chief judges or prosecutors. A decision judges made is closely linked with vast interests of multiple departments. But large numbers of them are always absent from the scene where outcomes are put out. Furthermore, judicial revolution relates most to individuals and organizations working in the basis levels, who is also the most practically experienced. Without consulting advice to them, how should we promote judicial reform and achieve the best effect? Judicial reform requires coordination in multiple departments, especially the Ministry of Finance. But it seems cooperation isn’t that successful as we estimated.
Mr. Li explained some difficult professional words in detail vividly. Though large part of us audiences are freshmen in law school, we were still able to keep pace with Mr. Li’ and enjoyed the speech very much. After a brief summary, Mr. Li set aside about 15 minutes for us to ask questions. Students put forward a lot of wonderful questions worthy of thinking deeply. For instance, how much right should judicial independence give to legal groups, and how much responsibility should legal should take? What are the advantages to study in SUFE Law School? What influence may the new and popular concept “Internet Plus” have on Judiciary’s further development?
Mr. Li answered questions one by one from both academic and practical aspects with words we can understand. Warm applause kept for a long period of time. Though the meeting ended , we can never forget the splendid speech given by Mr. Li. Through this lecture, we had a deeper understanding of this young funny teacher. We knew advantages and disadvantages of learning law in SUFE, which are quite helpful for us to make career plans.
