Features: The Chinese Law Society has conducted four nationwide selections of "Top Ten Outstanding (Young and Middle-aged) Jurists of China" since 1995, 1999, 2002, and 2004, which have had a significant impact on the legal academia and legal profession. These selections have made important contributions to flourishing legal research, stimulating the enthusiasm of legal scholars in theoretical and innovative studies, and advancing the rule of law. In October 2004, the Chinese Law Society selected the fourth "Top Ten Outstanding Young Jurists of China," and Professor Qiu Xinglong and Professor Lu Jianping, recommended by the Criminal Law Research Society of the Chinese Law Society, were honored with this title. Since 1995, when the Chinese Law Society began selecting outstanding (young and middle-aged) jurists, a group of talented and knowledgeable young legal scholars have emerged and have become a backbone force in the development of China's legal cause. To date, six young and middle-aged scholars in the field of criminal law have been honored with this title: Professor Zhao Bingzhi (1995, first edition, aged 39 at the time), Professor Chen Xingliang (1999, second edition, aged 42 at the time), Professor Zhang Mingkai (2002, third edition, aged 43 at the time), Professor Wu Dahuai (2002, third edition, aged 39 at the time), Professor Qiu Xinglong (2004, fourth edition, aged 41 at the time), and Professor Lu Jianping (2004, fourth edition, aged 41 at the time). These six (young and middle-aged) jurists were basically recommended and approved by the Criminal Law Research Society of the Chinese Law Society. At the same time, they are all full-time professors, visiting professors, or expert committee members of the National Key Research Base, the Research Center for Criminal Law of Renmin University of China. Among them, four have obtained doctorates in criminal law from Renmin University of China.
To fully showcase the talents of young and middle-aged criminal law scholars and promote human rights protection research in the field of criminal law, after careful consideration and with the approval and support of the Chinese Law Society, the National Key Research Base, the Research Center for Criminal Law of Renmin University of China, and the Criminal Law Research Society of the Chinese Law Society jointly organized the "Forum on Contemporary Criminal Law and Human Rights Protection — National Outstanding Young Criminal Law Scholars" on January 15, 2005, at Renmin University of China. The event invited criminal law scholars from previous editions who were honored with the title of "Top Ten Outstanding (Young and Middle-aged) Jurists of China" to serve as keynote speakers, invited veteran criminal law scholars for live comments, and also invited [other guests].
