The Legal Principle: Legitimate Reasons for the Practice of Law

The legal principle(ratio juris) is the legitimate reason which is refined by people’s rational cognition to justify the practice of law. It is a practical concept that grows out of, acts on, and develops in the practice of law. It orients towards the practice of law to bloom academic life, build the academic system, and bring discourse charm. It dives into the practice of law to enrich legal thinking, support the rule of law thinking and cultivate the jurisprudential thinking. The concept of legal principle has sprouted, flowed and leaped in the development of Chinese legal civilization for thousands of years. It awakened, appears, and is ascending in the course of law-based governance in all fields and modernizing China’s system and capacity for governance in a new era. It expresses the harmony of the road of legal principle rejuvenation and the landscape of good law and good governance and reflects the shining light of Eastern civilization and Marxist truth as well.
