The Sun Yat-sen University Law Department has written a glorious chapter of pursuing ideals and practicing with diligence over its one hundred years of self-improvement and arduous struggles in its pioneering history. The birth of the Law Department of Sun Yat-sen University coincided with the era of the late Qing Dynasty when China sought to strengthen itself through reform. In the 31st year of the Guangxu reign (1905 AD), the Guangdong Law College, along with other government-run law colleges such as the Capital Law College and the Northern Law College, unveiled the modernization of Chinese legal education, giving rise to specialized legal education in the process of Western learning spreading to China. From the exploration of the path to a democratic republic during the Xinhai Revolution to the advocacy of democratic and scientific spirit during the May Fourth Movement, the Guangdong Law College, situated at the forefront of the revolution, witnessed and actively participated in a series of transformations in modern Chinese society. In 1912, Hu Hanmin renamed the Guangdong Law College as the Guangdong Public Law College. In 1923,, the Governor of Guangdong Province, renamed it the Guangdong Public Law University. In 1924, it merged with the National Guangdong University to form the Law College. In 1926, the National Guangdong University was renamed the National Sun Yat-sen University, and the Law College was accordingly renamed the Law College of the National Sun Yat-sen University. In 1931, the National Sun Yat-sen University underwent reforms, and the Law College was transformed into the School of Law. In 1950, the National Sun Yat-sen University was renamed Sun Yat-sen University, and the School of Law was accordingly renamed the School of Law of Sun Yat-sen University. In 1952, during the nationwide reorganization of higher education institutions, the School of Law of Sun Yat-sen University was abolished and replaced by the Department of Political and Legal Sciences, which was later merged into the Central South University of Political Science and Law. In 1979, with approval from the original Ministry of Education, Sun Yat-sen University revived the Department of Law. In 1993, the School of Political and Legal Sciences was established, which was later abolished in 2001 and subsequently rebuilt as the School of Law of Sun Yat-sen University.
