The significance of education to the self-development of college students and the orderly development of society calls for the combination of moral education and legal education to improve the quality of college students and realize the comprehensive rule of law.

China's legal education is an important part of higher education, shouldering the heavy responsibility of cultivating talents for the country and society, and also shouldering the mission of inheriting legal knowledge, legal skills and legal spirit. Since the founding of New China, China's legal status has been continuously improved, and the concept of governing the country according to law has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Coupled with the development of China's market economy and the deepening of legal construction, various undertakings in China have begun to enter the legal track, and the society's desire for legal talents is increasing day by day. Even ordinary citizens have higher and higher requirements for their legal literacy. However, by investigating the current legal level of college students and the current situation of legal education in universities, we will find that there are still some big problems in legal education for college students. Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen the legal education of college students before citizens enter the society, which is not only conducive to their own development, but also conducive to promoting the harmonious and orderly development of society.

1 Current legal education for college students

1. 1 college students' legal awareness

We can see that various social problems emerge in an endless stream, among which there are many illegal and criminal acts with college students as the main body. Take the case of Yao Jiaxin a few years ago as an example. As a junior in Xi 'an Conservatory of Music, he stabbed the injured to death many times in order to avoid legal responsibility, then drove away and hit people again. Although this kind of incident that shocked the whole country is only an extreme case, the phenomenon of other college students breaking the law and discipline is also very common, which has to arouse our attention and sound the alarm for our college students. As young college students with higher education, they not only have the problems of lack of legal knowledge and weak legal consciousness, but also have relatively low ability to protect themselves and safeguard their rights and interests through law.

1.2 Current situation of law education in contemporary universities

On the one hand, with the reform and opening up, various foreign advanced legal education concepts have been introduced, which greatly promoted the development of legal education in China. In order to meet the needs of all walks of life for legal talents, major universities have set up law departments and gradually developed various forms of legal education. However, there are still some problems in current university law education: the orientation of law education is unclear, and the attribute of vocational education has not yet been revealed; The decline of elite education attribute and the lack of legal professional quality; The lack of moral education and the construction of legal professional ethics: lack of special vocational skills education; The training mode does not meet the requirements of legal personnel training, and so on. The existence of these problems restricts the development of law education in China, which cannot be ignored and needs to be reformed in time. Only by establishing a comprehensive legal education system in universities in China can law play its important role in individuals and society.

2. 1 for personal development

Learning the law well is of far-reaching significance to the survival and development of every citizen in society, especially to the future successors of society. First of all, learning the law well is helpful for college students to abide by the law and become legal citizens. Many problems in life are closely related to the law. We will find that an important problem of college students' crime today is that they don't understand the law or have a weak legal concept. After learning legal knowledge, we can improve our legal awareness and strengthen our legal concept, so as to learn to act according to law, self-discipline according to law, avoid touching the red line of law, and ensure that we are good citizens who know and abide by the law.

Secondly, studying law is not only to prevent yourself from breaking the law, but also to learn the law well and safeguard your legitimate rights and interests. At present, college students' awareness of rights protection is weak. When one's legitimate rights and interests are infringed, one can't use legal weapons to protect them, but solve the problem in one's own imaginary way, or even take illegal ways intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, their legitimate rights and interests were not protected, but they suffered more serious losses. However, after studying the law, we can safeguard our legitimate rights and interests according to the relevant laws and regulations.

Finally, as social citizens, we should consciously safeguard the dignity of the law and the Constitution, adhere to the principle of the unity of rights and obligations, and consciously fulfill our obligation to crack down on illegal and criminal activities. Good legal education helps us to consciously use legal means to fight against illegal and criminal acts, dare to take up legal weapons, and use correct methods to resist the occurrence of illegal and criminal acts and minimize the harm.

2.2 Promote social development and progress

As the saying goes: Without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang. The orderly development of a society is inseparable from the norms and constraints of various rules and regulations, and law, as a normative, national will, national compulsory and universal social norm or behavior norm, is an important support to maintain the harmonious development of society.

First of all, the law helps to realize social fairness and justice by establishing and ensuring the realization of justice standards and coordinating the interests of subjects. Determine the subject and scope of interests by law, guide the distribution and coordination of interests, eliminate unfair judgments as much as possible, and control social contradictions and conflicts within a certain range.

After controlling social contradictions and conflicts, the ultimate result of law is to maintain social stability and order. The implementation of legal education means that every individual in society knows and abides by the law, and establishes and improves the social management mechanism in society, improves the level of social management, makes it institutionalized, standardized, well-founded, orderly, effective and powerful, and maintains social stability and harmony from the institutional level.

Maintaining social stability and harmony is not the only benefit brought by law and legal education. Social stability and order will bring about all-round development of the whole society in economy, politics and culture. China is in a new period of reform and opening up, and it is also a crucial period for rapid economic development and building a well-off society in an all-round way. If China wants to become a real world power, occupy a leading position in the economy and have advanced and powerful cultural soft power, it cannot do without the institutional guarantee backed by law. Through the intervention of law, we can alleviate the interest disputes in economic exchanges and provide legal support for social and cultural construction. Legal education popularizes legal knowledge, reduces unnecessary friction in all aspects of social development, and promotes full-speed development and progress in all aspects of society.

3 Conclusion

Contemporary China emphasizes the rule of law and constitution, and it is self-evident that the importance of strengthening legal education for college students will have a far-reaching impact on individuals and society. It is particularly important to truly implement university law education and solve the problems existing in today's university education. This requires the joint efforts of all members of our society to build the society into a legal society, so that the society can develop in a harmonious and orderly manner and improve a good environment for China's modernization. Of course, while carrying out legal education, we can't ignore another important aspect, that is, moral education, which combines law and morality at the same time from both external and internal aspects to improve the quality of social members and build a harmonious and developed modern society.
