Law School of Shanghai University, formerly known as Intellectual Property College of Shanghai University, can be traced back to the Law Department of Fudan University Branch established in 1978, and the Intellectual Property Teaching and Research Center of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and Shanghai Joint Research Institute of Science and Technology Law established in 1988.
The Law Department of Fudan University Branch is the earliest institution in Shanghai, and it is also one of the earliest institutions in China to resume and carry out law teaching and research after the Cultural Revolution. From 65438 to 0985, the branches of Fudan University, East China Normal University and Shanghai International Studies University merged to form the original Shanghai University. The former Fudan University Branch became the College of Literature of Shanghai University, and the Department was renamed the Law Department of the College of Literature of Shanghai University. 1993 Shanghai Law School (merged with Shanghai School of Political Science and Law Management) joined the former Shanghai University, which was called Shanghai University Law School, and the Law Department of the College of Literature was renamed the Foreign Economic Law Department of the College of Literature. 1998 10 the foreign economic law department of the former college was further merged with the former intellectual property college to form a new intellectual property college.
The Intellectual Property Teaching and Research Center of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology was established in 1988 and 199 1 year. Together with Fudan University, East China University of Political Science and Law, Shanghai University of Science and Technology, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and Law, the Center established the Shanghai Joint Research Institute of Science, Technology and Law, with Fang Minglun, the executive vice president, as the dean, and the headquarters of the institute is located in. 1In May, 1994, the former University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai University and Shanghai Institute of Science and Technology merged to form a new Shanghai University.

Fang Minglun, executive vice president, personally guided the establishment and construction of the Intellectual Property College of Shanghai University, and concurrently served as the dean of the Intellectual Property College. 1998 10 10 In October, the Intellectual Property Institute merged with the Foreign Economic Law Department of the College of Literature to form a new Intellectual Property Institute. 1994 During the eight years from 2002, Professor Fang Minglun, Party Secretary and Executive Vice President of Shanghai University, served as Dean.

Second, the development status quo
Shanghai University Law School consists of Intellectual Property College, Law Department and Financial Law Department. In addition, there are comparative law research centers and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan law research centers. At present, there are three master of laws degree awarding points (legal theory, constitution and administrative law, criminal law), 1 undergraduate legal major (with three directions of financial law, intellectual property law and criminal justice), 1 second bachelor's degree legal major, 1 adult education legal major. There are nearly 600 undergraduates, more than 30 graduate students/kloc-0, and hundreds of adult students in our college. Over the years, we have opened dozens of courses, such as basic courses of law, professional basic courses and intellectual property rights, at five levels: undergraduate, double-major, postgraduate and in-service postgraduate, and completed a number of scientific research works and other achievements with theoretical significance and application value.
The Intellectual Property Institute affiliated to the Institute is one of the two earliest intellectual property institutes established in Chinese universities (the other is Peking University Intellectual Property Institute). It is a law school that conducts law teaching and research, featuring the teaching and research of intellectual property law.

The major direction of financial law offered by the College of Financial Law is to adapt to the development of socialist market economy and build Shanghai into a domestic and international financial center. After completing the main courses of general law in the third year of college, students will further study the basic principles, basic operational knowledge and professional courses of financial laws and regulations and their financial and capital market principles.
