Why should colleges and universities attach importance to students' legal education?
College students are the most important human resources in China's socialist modernization. Whether they can grow into talents is directly related to the success or failure of our socialist country ruled by law. In this process, the most important thing is to strengthen the legal education of college students.

1. Strengthening the legal education of college students is the need of cultivating advanced compound talents in colleges and universities.

With the progress of science and technology and the further development of human society, more and more social problems are not solved by professionals with a certain knowledge, but require a large number of comprehensive and compound talents. As an important social science, law is paid more and more attention by college educators and educatees.

On the one hand, strengthening the legal education of college students is because the law has penetrated into social life, people's food, clothing, housing and transportation and other aspects. On the other hand, more and more college students regard legal quality as an important indicator to demand themselves. Therefore, strengthening the legal education of college students is an important aspect of cultivating advanced compound talents in colleges and universities.

2. Strengthening the legal education of college students is the need to develop and improve the socialist market economy.

Market transactions need legal norms. Contract has become the most important form of market transaction. In the process of concluding a contract, the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parties, the steps of concluding a contract, the main terms of the contract, the effectiveness of the contract, the performance of the contract and the liability for breach of contract all need to be clearly stipulated by law.

In addition, the basic principles that market transactions should follow, such as equality and voluntariness, equal compensation, honesty and credit, fair competition, etc. It must be concretized by corresponding legal norms to make it more operational in practice.

From the above analysis, we can see that every link in the operation of the market economy is closely related to the law, and the college students trained by colleges and universities will definitely enter the tide of the market economy in the future, become the main body of the market economy and engage in market transactions. Therefore, strengthening the legal education of college students is the inherent need of the development of market economy.

3. Strengthening the legal education of college students is the need to realize a socialist country ruled by law.

The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The construction of democracy and legal system has not fully adapted to the requirements of expanding people's democracy and economic and social development, and the political system reform needs to be further deepened." The idea of democracy and the rule of law can't come into being spontaneously in people's minds. Only through education can we change people's traditional ideas and establish a modern concept of democracy and the rule of law.

Therefore, the ideological education of the rule of law for college students is one of the important prerequisites to realize a socialist country ruled by law.
