“…Literature [17] through the 1980s and 1990s China's compulsory education law for data analysis shows that the degree of legal education will positively impact mental health, thus indicating that legal education helps improve ideological and political quality. A two-year empirical investigation of moral quality values was conducted by Hong Kong law students in Literature [18]. The results show that legal education can effectively promote students' professional ability and then make them able to effectively uphold the dignity of the law so that their ideological and political quality can be improved.…”

This paper first discusses the system and specific tasks of the theory of jurisprudence and analyzes the integration and development of ideological and political education with the theory of jurisprudence. Secondly, it constructed the evaluation indexes of the formation quality of jurisprudence theory, determined the subjective weights of the indexes by using the method of sequential relationship analysis, determined the objective weights by the entropy value method, and made the combination of weights by the game theory. Using the set-pair method, I analyzed the optimization indicators and constructed a set-pair analysis model based on game theory. Finally, an evaluation analysis was conducted to verify the validity of the model and the influence of ideological and political education on the formation of legal theory. The results show that based on ideological and political theory can effectively improve the quality of jurisprudential theory formation, which makes the formation of jurisprudential theory more in line with the reality of social development and can further solve social development problems. The index of jurisprudence ideology has a comprehensive linkage degree of 0.839, and the evaluation grade is excellent. The expansion of jurisprudential thought can be promoted by ideological and political education, which in turn positively impacts the formation of jurisprudential theory.

“…Informed guesswork may be the best to have had here, although this need not stand in the way of sensible reform, of course. But see also, and on a less sceptical note, Nicholson, 2009-2010 for detailed discussion of effects of legal ethics teaching, including further references, Wu, 2017: 242-267 and generally JDoris et al, 2013, Killen & Smetana, 2014. 24 Rhode, 2007: 1056: 'Lawyers have considerable power over the terms of their own practice and a range of ways to leave the world slightly better than they found it.'…”

Teaching Legal Ethics by Non-Ethical Means – With Special Attention to Facts, Roles and Respect Everywhere in the Legal Curriculum

Legal ethics may be taught indirectly, given resistance to ethics as a separate and presumably merely subjective subject. This may be done by stressing the importance of facts (as the vast majority of legal issues relate to contested facts), of professional role consciousness and of the importance of formal and informal respect for all concerned. This indirect approach is best integrated into the whole of the legal curriculum, in moot practices and legal clinics offering perceptions of the administration of legal justice from receiving ends as well. Basic knowledge of forensic sciences, argumentation and rhetoric may do good here as well. Teachers of law are to set an example in their professional (and general) conduct.

Legal Professionalism and the Ethical Challenge for Legal Education: Insights from a Comparative Study of Future Lawyers in Greater China

This article uses data gathered from a survey that probed the career orientations and values of more than 1,000 law students in Beijing, Hong Kong and Taipei to examine the legal professionalism of future lawyers being trained under different legal education systems in Greater China. Our findings suggest that these future lawyers have a “materialistic” career orientation, although those studying in a system whose legal education goal is to train professional lawyers are more inclined to pursue professional legal ideals, and those trained in a system that emphasizes legal ethics are more likely to pursue public interest issues. On the basis of the findings, we argue that legal education systems in Greater China, while different in their traditions, share the same need to strengthen legal professionalism by according greater emphasis to legal ethics in their respective law school curricula.
