Zhu De pointed out in his speech that the task of the University of Political Science and Law is very important, and the new China needs a large number of legal talents. He encouraged all teachers and students to study hard and live up to the teachers' great trust and expectations. The educational policy of the new school is "know the society, transform the society, know yourself and transform yourself". The new school mainly takes the form of combining large classes with small classes and teaching seminars. Ai Siqi taught historical materialism and dialectical materialism, Xie Juezai taught Marxism–Leninism's national legal view, and invited many Soviet professors to give lectures.
1950 In February, the central government decided to merge China University of Political Science and Law and North China University to form China Renmin University. The law department was one of the eight departments established when the National People's Congress was just founded. During the period of 1952, Renmin University adjusted its departments, used the school education model of the former Soviet Union for reference, split some comprehensive universities with a certain scale into several single-subject universities, and cancelled the sociology department and the political department among them, which seriously damaged the legal education of two social sciences. In the subsequent period of extreme "Left" ideological trend flooding and catastrophe, China's legal education and legal system construction were even more destroyed. Law Department of Renmin University stops enrolling students 1966.
