ABSTRACT
China’s legal education system consists of popular higher legal education, adult legal education and vocational legal education varied in different training channels, forms and levels. In China, the traditional graduate education is mainly aimed at cultivating talents. Another type is the practical talent with career orientation of legal application and practicing. Cultivating high-quality practical legal talents is much more significant. In terms of graduate education, legal professional training should be strengthened. For the doctoral education, a legal degree system should be established as soon as possible to cultivate interdisciplinary elite talents who are capable of coping with complicated legal affairs to meet modern society’s demand for academic innovation and complex legal practice. Legal educators should also adopt new teaching methods such as a clinical legal teaching mode to strengthen students’ practical ability to apply theories to work. Legal globalization makes it necessary to boost international communications and will ultimately affect the conduct of legal education.
