In a bid to make legal education more engaging and accessible, China has introduced innovative programs tailored for young students and the elderly. These initiatives aim to deepen public understanding of the law and foster a culture of legal awareness. One such program, organized by the Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing, recently saw high school students participate in an immersive legal workshop. Students took on roles as plaintiffs, defendants, and judges to navigate a simulated inheritance dispute, learning about the Civil Code and judicial procedures in the process. The workshop, guided by court assistant Sun Jiayun, emphasized the importance of hands-on learning to spark interest in legal concepts. This initiative is part of a broader transformation in China’s legal education system, driven by the implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law. President Xi Jinping has called for intensified efforts to advance the rule of law across all sectors, emphasizing the need for society-wide observance of the law. The program’s success highlights the potential of interactive methods to make legal education more relatable and effective, particularly for younger audiences.
