Features: Political scientist Xiao Gongquan, who studied abroad, raised a question when discussing the late Qing reforms: "If there is no person like Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, how can their reforms be realized?" He also pointed out that every historical reform in China has faced this issue. Professor Xiao's discussion of reform was at the political level. However, his insight holds great significance for today's "rule of law construction" at the legal level in China. We cannot help but say that the future success and sustainability of China's rule of law depend on the participation of countless legal professionals. The more the legal profession grows, matures, and succeeds, the more solid, detailed, and powerful the rule of law becomes, like a thriving, immortal giant tree rooted in Chinese soil. For the cultivation of future legal professionals, the legal education being actively promoted by dedicated individuals today is of "unparalleled importance." Among the various components of legal education, law schools are universally recognized as the most crucial. However, the significance of legal education books and the level of attention they receive may still be insufficient. We, at Legal Publishing House, are currently advancing a project—compiling teaching aids for legal education—which may be another part of legal education books that is often overlooked. Yet, compiling legal teaching aids is precisely an issue that should not be ignored.
We know that Chinese law school education is not a U.S.-style vocational training system. In such a system, readers have at least completed their undergraduate studies, and many students have even years of social work experience. In contrast, the mainstream students of Chinese legal education—undergraduates in law schools—are typically 18-year-old teenagers. Law school education accompanies these young students through their precious four years of knowledge acquisition, but it must also consider their interests. Thus, if law textbooks enrich their minds with systematic theories, legal teaching aids support the textbooks by engaging students' interests from various angles—through cases, regulations, reading materials, or even highly engaging formats.
The young and promising students of today will become the legal talents of tomorrow. Legal Publishing House, in this process, not only wishes them success but also aims to actively assist them in achieving it.
