转型背景下地方高校法学实践教学的问题与出路

The Problems and Measures of Legal Practice Teaching in Local Colleges under the Transformation Background

近几年来,我国法学专业的首次就业率始终在文科中倒数。因为招生和就业不理想,一些地方高校做出减少法学专业招生名额,甚至停办法学专业的决定。与此同时,不断有法学专家建议取消地方高校法学专业的办学资格,拟在中国将法学教育办成精英教育。然而与此形成鲜明对比的是,很多中西部县区非常紧缺法官、检察官和律师人才。究其原因,和各地方法学院校的培养模式不无关系。培养目标定位不清晰,对实践能力培养重视不够,导致学生只会纸上谈兵,眼高手低。因此,解决问题的关键在于转变办学思路,和地方法律实务部门建立密切合作,完善和加强实践教学。

In recent years, the employment of law major in our country is always the bottom in the liberal arts. Because enrollment and employment were unsatisfactory, some local colleges reduced the enrollment number of law major students, and even made the decision to close law major. At the same time, some law experts constantly advised to cancel the law major educational qualifications for the local universities, and change law education to elite education in China. However, many western counties are very scarce of talent judges, prosecutors and lawyers. Looking for the reason, training mode and methodology in the colleges were related. Training target positioning is not clear, with paying not enough attention to practice ability, which caused students would only be armchair strategists, nowadays. Therefore, the key to solve the problem lies in the transformation of ideas, and establishing close cooperation with the local departments of law practice, and improving and strengthening the practice teaching.
