中国当代法学教育的两极化构想

中国的法学教育面对21世纪的挑战与机遇,明显地显现出其知识结构的缺陷。针对于此,在培养法学人才 方面,应区分法律精英教育和法律常识教育。法律精英教育高于法律本科教育,取消法律本科教育;法律常识教育主 要普及于中小学教育。这样,就可以适应我国当代社会的发展和建设法治国家的需要。

A Hypothesis of Polarizing the current Law Education System in China

The current law education system in China is finding it harder and harder to meet the demands of the century,which calls for both law elites with sound knowledge struture and the general public with basic legal knowIedge.We thus tentatively hy- pothesize a polarized law education system in China:on the one hand we educate a law-conscious public,starting from primary school:on the other hand.we train law elites,people with an MA.or higher degree recruited fmm graduates of whatever-needed spe cialities,cancelling the middle (the undergraduate education) stage.
