“…There is a need for a systematic inquiry into the development of clinical legal education in African countries other than Nigeria and South Africa, especially those that have not been discussed at all in the book. 79 Strategies need to be developed as to how the global clinical movement and clinics in Nigeria and South Africa can support local clinics in other African countries. Integrated credit-based Street Law programmes hold untapped potential especially in developing countries including South Africa and can help students experience social justice while serving the society.…”

This book is a significant contribution towards understanding how clinical legal education and its justice mission culminated in a global movement. It is a remarkable collaboration of scholarship and thought leadership by clinical legal educators from all over the world. Most of the contributors of this book are members of the Global Alliance for Justice Education (GAJE), an ever-expanding global alliance of law teachers committed to achieving social justice through education. In the preface to the book, Bloch noted that the idea of such a global alliance was first floated at a course for Indian clinical teachers organised by Dr NR Madhava Menon.Published in 2011, this book made a strong case for taking the global relevance of clinical legal education seriously by focusing on three aspects of such education: its global reach (Part I), its social justice mission (Part II), and its emergence as a worldwide movement (Part III). It helped set the stage for a global clinical movement and for this movement to take forward the project of justice education within a global context. It provided insights into core aspects of clinical legal education. It proposed a vision and an agenda, and suggested concrete recommendations and strategies to strengthen the global clinical movement that was already under way.Almost a decade has passed since the publication of this book. Some later works have spoken about, described, and to some extent taken stock of the developing aspects of the global clinical movement. 1 However, recent scholarship is lacking on

“…The idea of new liberal arts was put out as a top-down, national notion, and its development is also a government-led, national undertaking [12]. According to the literature [13], bolstering the development of law majors in higher education institutions is not only in keeping with the development direction of China's rule of law building but is also in line with the social development of completely supporting the rule of law.…”

Due to society’s practical demands, the legal profession’s growth within the context of the new liberal arts is necessary to improve teaching mechanisms and the comprehensive development of interdisciplinarity. In this paper, from the two major dilemmas of the specificity of legal instruments and the correlation between sentencing tasks, to examine the relationship between sentencing prediction, charge prediction, and law suggestion of legal instruments, respectively, the Bi-LSTM-attention model, end-to-end memory network model, and CNN-GRU network model are employed, to build an intelligent legal learning system. The outcomes demonstrate that, compared to the conventional machine learning algorithm, the intelligent legal learning system based on deep learning can increase prediction performance by 5.2% to 6%, global accuracy can reach 93.3%, and accuracy of legal documents processing by 7.9%. The deep learning-based intelligent legal learning system suggested in this study can assist law students in completing legal paperwork duties and increase their learning effectiveness.

“…Interviews often point out the need to increase institutional support and reform, provide more educational resources, eliminate discrimination, and continue to discuss gender and local laws. [7] Bloch FS emphasized how he recruited international collaborators to bring an international perspective to his key work in Indian legal education reform, how he inspired colleagues in the international community to bring similar reforms to their country, and how he has become a real Guide a new generation of legal educators in the course of the global clinical movement [8]. The study of legal education in colleges and universities has very important practical significance.…”

With the continuous and in-depth implementation of our country's legislation to govern the country, citizens' awareness of popularizing and using the law must also be continuously enhanced. As high-quality talents, college students are also the backbone of socialist construction. The establishment of students' correct legal concept is not only related to the construction of our socialist society under the rule of law, but also closely related to the future and destiny of the Chinese nation. The purpose of this article is to study the legal education in colleges and universities. First, it outlines the knowledge background of legal education and the internal logic of college legal education and social stability. Secondly, a number of related questionnaires that can be selectively answered are carefully designed. The main problem focused on the basic status, and analyzed the status of legal education on this basis. The experimental results show that only 6% of students think that their families value and often provide legal training. Discuss the course of reform and innovation, and put forward practical countermeasures to strengthen law education in colleges under the new situation.
