Historical Review of Fudan University Law School
Fudan University's legal education has a long history and distinctive features. Relevant law courses were offered as early as the founding of Fudan College, while the Law School (Law Department) went through many twists and turns until 1929. Fudan University's legal education has experienced ups and downs for a hundred years. With the increasing fame, famous teachers and students are gathering constantly, and gradually become the important town of law teaching and research in South China.

19 14 In the spring semester, Fudan University added a special law student class, with the first batch of 60 students enrolled, which was the first large-scale independent enrollment of Shanghai Law Department. Wang Chonghui, Doctor of Law of Yale University and Foreign Minister of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, was employed as a professor in our school to teach public international law, general law and other courses. 65438-0922 Jiangwan Campus of Fudan University was successfully completed with the support of all sectors of society. Fudan University ushered in a new period of development and began to build disciplines that are urgently needed by society. The discipline of law faces great opportunities. 1February, 924, Fudan university revised its academic system: it set up two departments: undergraduate department and affiliated middle school; The undergraduate department consists of business school, polytechnic, liberal arts college and psychology college, with 23 departments, including political science and economics in liberal arts. In the spring of 1925, the number of students majoring in politics increased sharply. The social science department has been added to the undergraduate department, which is divided into two departments: political science and sociology. The department of political science is divided into three groups: law, politics and municipal administration, which laid a good foundation for the establishment of law school in the future.

1929 Fudan university was reorganized according to the university organization law, and its departments were changed into colleges, and four colleges of arts, science, law and business were established, with 17 departments under its jurisdiction. The law school has political department, economic department and municipal administration department, which is the beginning of Fudan University Law School. Unfortunately, because the National Government strictly controls the establishment of law departments in private universities, it must obtain permission from the Ministry of Justice in addition to filing with the Ministry of Education, so the application for establishing a "law department" has been unsuccessful. 1930 in the summer vacation, Fudan University broke away from convention, set up a law department to enroll students, and applied to the Ministry of Education for filing. During this period, Mr. Pei Fuheng, who obtained a doctorate in law from the University of Paris, France, was appointed as the head of the department, and Mr. Jin and Mr. Xu Xiangshu, who were proficient in European law, were hired as professors of the law department. 1931March was awarded by the Ministry of Education to the Law Department for filing; In July of the same year, the Ministry of Justice granted the concession and published it in the Official Gazette.

From 65438 to 0932, Zhang Zhi, who graduated from the Law Department of Columbia University, appointed doctoral students as the head of the Law Department, and hired famous teachers such as Pan Zhenya, Zhang Dingfu, Jiang Zhensan, Zhong Hongsheng and Zong as professors. Teachers are constantly enriched, law courses are gradually improved, and their influence is further strengthened. By 1937, "general theory of law, general principles of civil law, general principles of criminal law, administrative law, principles of constitutional law, law of court organization, law of relatives, inheritance law, prison law, public international law, private international law, land law, civil procedure law, criminal procedure law, jurisprudence, Chinese legal history, legal philosophy, execution law, official document procedure and litigation practice" have been formed. "Criminal Law" and other courses are a relatively complete legal curriculum system, and mock trial activities are also set up in the school during the learning process, which embodies the distinctive characteristics of paying equal attention to legal theoretical knowledge and legal practice.

After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Fudan University moved westward to Beibei, Chongqing, and the legal education was greatly affected and fell into a trough. When Fudan University 194 1 was changed into a national university, legal education once again ushered in the dawn. Professor Peking University, a professor who is good at company law, Mr. Lu Jun and Mr. Hu also came to Fudan to teach. 1943 After China and Britain signed the New Testament abolishing consular jurisdiction, there was a great shortage of judges in China. Fudan University seized this development opportunity and set up a judicial team to cultivate judicial practice talents. 1949, National Central University Law School, Tongji University Law School and National Yingshi University Law School were ordered to close down and merged into Fudan University; 195 1 year, the Law School of Guanghua University and the Law School of Daxia University were also merged, and the strength of the Law Department was further strengthened. In the process of faculty adjustment from 65438 to 0952, the law departments of nine universities including Fudan University, St. John's University and Soochow University were partially merged into the newly established East China University of Political Science and Law.

198 1 Fudan university re-established the law major, 1983 re-established the law department; During the period of 1994, Fudan University established law schools including law departments, international politics departments and sociology departments. In June 2000, 1 1, a law school with a single law discipline was established, and the career development of Fudan University Law School has embarked on a new journey in the new century!

In addition, there are many famous professors such as Yang Honglie, Mei Ruao, Chen Guyuan, Yang Zhaolong, Qiu Riqing, Cui, Gu, Zhang Huiwen, Shen, Ye, Li Changdao and so on who have taught in our college.
