First of all, the legal education in modern schools is the fundamental way to carry forward the spirit of rule of law and completely abandon the idea of rule by man. The spirit of the rule of law refers to the courage and perseverance to respect and safeguard the law. "Assuming that everyone has this kind of courage and perseverance, after a considerable period of time, you can form an atmosphere. Once popular, it will become a habit. As long as this habit is not cultivated, the realization of the rule of law will be unreliable, and the real rule of law is conditional on this habit "(Cai Shuheng). China has a tradition of autocracy for thousands of years, but it has no cultural background of democracy and the rule of law. The modern culture of China, deduced from the traditional culture represented by Confucianism, inevitably has feudal remnants that emphasize the rule of man over the rule of law. If we don't strengthen legal education, the spirit of the rule of law will be out of the question and a country ruled by law will be hard to achieve. Modern school education is systematic, organized, planned and scientific, which makes modern school legal education play a special role in cultivating the spirit of rule of law. Through school legal education, sending groups of members with legal spirit to the society can make the whole society gradually form a good legal environment, gradually eliminate the feudal idea of rule by man, and lay a solid foundation for the ultimate realization of a country ruled by law.
Secondly, the legal education in modern schools has trained qualified legal operators and law-abiding citizens for the country. A country ruled by law is a country where the law is in charge rather than power, and it is a country dominated by legal operators rather than administrative bureaucrats. Hundreds of years' practical experience of the rule of law in western society and 20 years' legal construction in modern China show that the rule of law needs law enforcement public servants, loyal ministers to protect the law and talents to promote the law. "A large number of qualified judges, prosecutors and lawyers must be trained." The cradle of all these legal talents is the school, and the fundamental way is the legal education in the school. At the same time, it is the basic project to carry out legal education so that members of society can use legal weapons, participate in state management, protect their legitimate rights and interests, bravely fight against illegal crimes and consciously safeguard legal dignity on the basis of learning and understanding the law. Three nationwide legal education has achieved remarkable results, but the most effective way is still to carry out legal education in schools, which is systematic, progressive and centralized, and is not available in other ways. In short, no matter in the sense of "talent education" or universal education, only school legal education can undertake this historical mission.
Thirdly, modern school law creates education, which is an effective way to educate Watson to know and obey the law and reduce juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency is one of the most serious social problems in China. In terms of quantity, juvenile delinquency accounts for the highest proportion of all criminal members, and the proportion of student crimes in juvenile delinquency is also increasing greatly. Judging from the cause of action, it basically revolves around three major areas: "finance", "sex" and "hegemony"; In nature, violent type, intentional type and gang type account for an absolute majority. This situation has social reasons, but the more important factor is the result of our school's neglect or even abandonment of legal education for many years. Comrade Deng Xiaoping once said, "To strengthen the legal system, it is important to carry out education. The fundamental problem is to educate people. Legal education should start with dolls, and primary and secondary schools should carry out such education. " Therefore, on the basis of social prevention, family prevention and school prevention, only by strengthening school legal education, making young students understand the law, and enhancing legal awareness and legal concept can juvenile delinquency be effectively curbed. This is also the responsibility of modern schools for building a country ruled by law and maintaining social stability.
