The Present Situation of Law Education in China
In the human science system, natural science takes nature as the research object, which is the product of human conquering and transforming nature by exploring the laws of nature. Social science, on the other hand, takes people and society as the research object and discusses the laws of their development. It is generally believed that social science includes history, politics, economy, anthropology and sociology, but it does not include law. For social scientists, the law is too standardized and lacks the basis of empirical research. Its laws are not scientific laws, and its background is too individual. As far as law itself is concerned, law is closely related to legal profession. Although law schools also carry out law education, it is better to cultivate legal thinking and legal skills than to conduct theoretical research. Therefore, the ultimate goal of legal researchers and jurists is always vague and always swings between legal practice and legal theory research. The present situation of Chinese jurisprudence is that legal research has not formed a clear set of operating theories and the basis of legal professional operation, and legal research itself often betrays the theory in practice because of its influence on legislation and judicial links. As for pure theoretical researchers of law, few people have settled down to study the practical needs of China's law. No one can theoretically complete a complete theoretical system with the help of the west and ancient times, and no matter what, it is still divorced from practice. China's practice needs more hermeneutics. The emergence of this situation is related to the orientation of law education in China. In China's legal education, general education is usually used to instill general legal theory, but students are unable to instill legal professional skills, knowledge and skills. It should be said that legal education in China should be divided into two types: legal vocational education and legal theory research and training. For those who are good at theoretical research, the training objectives and means can be adopted, while for other legal professional educators, the training content should be the skills, skills and etiquette of legal practice. If there is no clear training goal, it is impossible to impart different knowledge in teaching, and it can only be generalized and not targeted, which will not gain much for students. Nowadays, the employment pressure is so great that it requires work experience to find a job. Law does not help students obviously, but consumes their financial resources and youth, which is the fundamental reason for the failure of China's law research.
