On Friday the 28th of May 2021, around fifty legal professors, researchers and students from a multitude of countries gathered virtually to discuss the development of legal education in China and Europe. The conference, which was successfully organised by the China-EU School of Law (CESL), was divided in three sessions and covered the experiences of teaching online during the COVID-19-pandemic, the use of technology in legal education, directions in legal education and skills needed for the next generation of lawyers, as well as the internationalisation and cross-border legal education. </p>
<p>Experiences from the challenge of shifting entirely to online teaching were discussed. The Corona pandemic has shown that change is possible – digital teaching does work. Although online classes will never replace physical meetings, it offers flexibility. It was suggested that legal educators should seize the moment and develop new models of online education, rather than simply expecting things to go back to square one after the epidemic. Law schools should try to improve communication between teachers and students and develop ways on how to best make use of the available teaching resources.</p>
<p>Further, speakers presented their views on the current development and directions of legal education at their universities. Different opinions focusing rather on soft skills or on hard skills, general or more specialised law programmes, analytical and problem-based teaching, flexibility in the curriculum, and interdisciplinarity – enabling possibilities to combine law studies with other academic subjects – as well as including more Legal Tech into the law curriculum were discussed. Law schools today need to prepare their students to have the tools to work with the law during the next 45 years of their working life, while the laws will be changing. </p>
<p>In China the internationalisation of legal education has become an important topic in the past years as it opened up new possibilities for legal education – with the CESL being a notable example of this development. The importance of foreign language knowledge and benefits of mutual exchange were pointed out by several speakers. Cross-border legal education is, however, often faced with practical and administrative challenges. In today´s global world lawyers also need to be prepared for working in an international environment.</p>

<p>Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat Dozenten und Studierenden der Rechtswissenschaften die Bedeutung der Lehrmethoden und der Gestaltung der juristischen Studiengänge noch bewusster gemacht. Am Freitag, den 28. Mai 2021, kamen rund fünfzig Rechtsprofessoren, Forscher und Studierende aus einer Vielzahl von Ländern virtuell zusammen, um über die Entwicklung der juristischen Ausbildung in China und Europa zu diskutieren. Die Konferenz, die erfolgreich von der China-EU School of Law (CESL) organisiert wurde, war in drei Sitzungen unterteilt und behandelte die Erfahrungen mit der Online-Lehre während der COVID-19-Pandemie, den Einsatz von Technologie in der juristischen Ausbildung, Tendenzen in der juristischen Ausbildung und benötigte Fähigkeiten für die nächste Generation von Jurist*innen sowie Internationalisierung und grenzüberschreitende juristische Ausbildung. </p>
<p>Erfahrungen aus der Herausforderung der Umstellung auf Online-Unterricht wurden diskutiert. Die Corona-Pandemie hat gezeigt, dass ein Wandel möglich ist - digitaler Unterricht funktioniert. Obwohl Online-Unterricht niemals physische Treffen ersetzen wird, bietet er Flexibilität. Es wurde vorgeschlagen, dass Rechtspädagogen die Gelegenheit nutzen und neue Modelle der Online-Ausbildung entwickeln sollten, anstatt einfach zu erwarten, dass die Dinge nach der Epidemie wieder von vorne beginnen. Die juristischen Fakultäten sollten versuchen, die Kommunikation zwischen Lehrenden und Lernenden zu verbessern und Wege zu entwickeln, wie die verfügbaren Lehrmittel am besten genutzt werden können.</p>
<p>Darüber hinaus präsentierten die Referenten ihre Ansichten über die aktuelle Entwicklung und Ausrichtung der juristischen Ausbildung an ihren Universitäten. Diskutiert wurden unterschiedliche Auffassungen, die sich eher auf Soft Skills oder auf Hard Skills konzentrieren, allgemeine oder stärker spezialisierte juristische Programme, analytische und problemorientierte Lehre, Flexibilität im Lehrplan und Interdisziplinarität - also Möglichkeiten, das Jurastudium mit anderen akademischen Studien zu kombinieren sowie mehr Legal Tech in den juristischen Lehrplan aufzunehmen. Die juristischen Fakultäten müssen heute ihre Studierenden darauf vorbereiten, dass sie in den nächsten 45 Jahren ihres Berufslebens mit dem Recht arbeiten können.</p>
<p>In China ist die Internationalisierung der juristischen Ausbildung in den letzten Jahren zu einem wichtigen Thema geworden, da sie neue Möglichkeiten für die juristische Ausbildung eröffnet hat - die CESL ist ein Beispiel für diese Entwicklung. Die Bedeutung von Fremdsprachenkenntnissen und die Vorteile des gegenseitigen Austauschs wurden von mehreren Rednern hervorgehoben. Die grenzüberschreitende juristische Ausbildung ist allerdings oft mit praktischen und administrativen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. In der heutigen globalen Welt müssen auch Juristen auf die Arbeit in einem internationalen Umfeld vorbereitet werden.</p>

<p>Agenda (PDF)</p>NAGR-fakrw-7953877-production2020-09-10T22:00:00ZPandemic Doesn't Stop CESL: European Co-Dean Monty Silley discusses how the international China-EU School of law continues all activities despite Covid-19Interview Questions for Co-Dean Monty Silley:
<p><br>1. How did Covid-19 influence the China-EU School of Law (CESL)? </p>
<p>Like all other institutions, Covid-19 has had a profound impact on CESL and each individual member of our community. Fortunately, we were able to take early and immediate actions, starting in January, to suspend all classroom teaching and then transition to fully online learning. This helped secure the health and safety of all our students and staff, so that not a single person from CESL was infected with the virus so far, while also allowing our students to continue with their studies and avoid any delays in the completion of their degrees. </p>
<p><br>2. Is the programme taking place normally?</p>
<p>Mostly, yes! Now that there are very few cases in China, and basically none in Beijing, we are happy to welcome our students back to campus for the start of the new academic year. Of course, we do have special procedures in place to ensure everyone can come back in a safe and responsible fashion, including various policies such as a phased return by year, testing all students and staff, temperature monitoring, social-distancing and the wearing of face masks at all times, etc. We remain precautious in case there should be any new outbreak, to be able to detect it as early as possible and isolate it from further spreading. With this, we are planning to resume live lectures in most of our courses. However, given the current travel restrictions and quarantine requirements that are still in place, it is not possible for our Flying Faculty to travel from Europe to Beijing to teach in person as they normally would. Therefore, most teaching in our MEIL (Master of European and International Law) programme will continue online this semester, with some blended components. Likewise, since international students are also unable to come to China right now, we have moved our CLTE (Chinese Law Taught in English) and IMCL (International Master of Chinese Law) programmes to hopefully begin in the Spring semester.</p>
<p><br>3. What have been the biggest challenges so far? </p>
<p>At the beginning of the year we faced various challenges. First and foremost was the concern that all students and staff remained safe and healthy as we initially began to learn about this virus. In addition to suspending classes and working from home, we instituted a detailed system where each student reported their health status to us on a daily basis. We put some students that had recently come from higher risk areas into quarantine and they were specially monitored with the help of our university hospital. Counselling services were also offered to any students that encountered abnormal stress, depression or other psychological difficulties during this very unusual time. Next, we had approximately 100 students that were expecting to study at one of our partner universities in Europe during the Spring semester. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these study abroad exchanges had to be suspended. This meant not only a change in course planning, but also cancelling all travel plans, flights and accommodations, often at the very last minute, given the quickly evolving situation we faced as the virus was spreading at the beginning of the year. On the other hand, for our European exchange and other international students that were studying in China, we helped all of them return safely back to their home countries. Then, we moved to fully online teaching so that everyone, no matter where they were, could keep up with their classes. This was largely a smooth process, but it still required some transitioning, as our School had never offered online courses before. For many of our professors it was also their first time teaching online. Therefore, it required adapting to new platforms, as well as some new teaching methods, to ensure all students remained fully engaged in a virtual classroom. It has been an ongoing challenge for us to offer the best forms of distance education. Finally, the pandemic also posed some disruptions to our usual recruitment, application and admission process. But again, we were able to mitigate these and find good solutions. This year we in fact had the highest number of MEIL applicants and we interviewed each of them online this summer. Now we are very focused on everyone’s safe return to campus and the resumption of largely regular in-person classes.</p>
<p><br>4. What are some of the other things CESL has done or is doing differently this year? </p>
<p>In addition to online teaching, which I already mentioned, we have hired additional Assistant Professors and Lecturers to break up classes into smaller tutorial groups which will allow for a high level of interaction to be maintained. We have continuously sought to leverage technology in order to preserve the vibrant and interactive community atmosphere everyone is used to at CESL. For example, we were able to have various high-profile guest speakers from leading law firms and international organisations give open lectures online this past term. We also launched a new online platform to further assist our students and new graduates to connect with our CESL alumni, network with prospective employers, and find suitable internships and job opportunities in the current environment. Our weekly discussion groups, for example the popular “What is Law? What is Justice”, will continue to take place online. Our mooting will still take place with both in person and online trainings. We are still planning to host our annual academic conference, with that also being online this year. So we are having a lot more virtual events, but always making sure that our Law School remains busy with regular activities and remains at the forefront of cross-border legal dialogues. We have consistently tried to make the best of a difficult situation, and since we are doing so much online these days, it has actually enabled us to connect with even more diverse professionals from around the world to share their knowledge and experience with our students.</p>
<p><br>5. You are currently residing in Beijing, was it difficult to adjust to the new situation? </p>
<p>Quarantining, no matter where you do it, can present certain challenges. As I have said to some of our students, while a pandemic is terrible for one’s social life, it is a great time to study hard, concentrate on achieving superior results with work, and pursue new projects. So I have also adhered to this positive outlook, tried to remain optimistic throughout the year, and be highly productive. Since I decided to remain in China throughout, I missed seeing family and friends this summer. But now the situation in China is looking much better and life has started returning to normal, so I am very excited to see everyone returning to campus again!</p>

<p>Location: Beijing, China</p>
<p>As the first Sino-foreign law school in China, the China-EU School of Law (CESL) is a unique law school. Approximately 130 master’s students are studying in the Master of European and International Law (MEIL) at CESL. To support the professors from Europe who fly to China to teach in the MEIL programme (‘Flying Faculty’), we are looking to expand our faculty and recruit two assistant professors. Successful candidates will ideally begin at the end of February 2020. They will take over mainly practical teaching classes (tutorials) on various law topics in the field of International Business Law (Conflict of Laws, CISG, WTO Law, Intellectual Property Law, and Moot Court and Arbitration) and the elective course module. Further, the assistant professors will assist in activities such as preparations for moot court competitions, law firm guest lectures and the master’s thesis. Assistant professors will also be given the possibility to conduct research at CESL. We seek candidates with excellent written and oral communication skills, practice and teaching experience.</p>

<p>Chinas erstes Gesetz zur häuslichen Gewalt wurde im März 2016 nach zwei Jahrzehnten Wahlkampfkampagnen von Frauenrechtsanwälten erlassen. Dies war zweifellos eine bedeutende Leistung. Obwohl China über eine solide Gesetzgebung zur Verteidigung der Rechte und Interessen von Frauen verfügt, bleibt noch viel zu tun. Die #MeToo-Bewegung und die zahlreichen hochrangigen Erwähnungen missbräuchlichen Verhaltens haben gezeigt, dass Gesetze allein den Status Quo nicht verbessern können. Soziales Handeln und soziales Bewusstsein sind zwei wichtige Faktoren, die die Rolle von Frauen stärken und eine dringend notwendige Veränderung bewirken. Prof. Yue Liling wird über die Rolle der Frau in der chinesischen Strafjustiz und die Auswirkungen der #MeToo Bewegung sprechen.</p>

<p>A delegation of Chinese lawyers from the city of Wuxi, close to Shanghai in China participated in a professional training programme organised by the China-EU School of Law (CESL) at Universität Hamburg. The 22 lawyers received a warm welcome from the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Prof. Tilman Repgen, and CESL Project Coordinator Prof. Hinrich Julius. From 11 to 24 November, the participants took part in a two weeks legal training with lectures and visits provided by professors, leading European law firms and institutions. Besides lectures on different topics ranging from M&A, to Labour law, the Chinese lawyers also visited the Hamburg Bar Association and the Max-Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law. In Berlin they visited the German Parliament, the German National Bar and a law firm. The unique programme offered Chinese lawyers the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge covering a range of perspectives and gives them a better understanding of German and EU law. The education programme was also an opportunity for German lawyers to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture and legal systems from the delegates.</p>

<p>Nicolas Chapuis, Botschafter der EU in Peking, betonte die Bedeutung der China-EU School of Law im Rahmen der Feierlichkeiten zum 10-jährigen Bestehen der China-EU School of Law am 15. November 2018 in Peking. 1,6 Mrd. Euro Handelsvolumen täglich machen die Bedeutung des europäisch-chinesischen Austauschs sichtbar. Europa ist der größte Außenhandelspartner Chinas. Für Europa steht China an zweiter Stelle nach den USA. Recht ist die Basis dieses Austauschs und die China-EU School of Law das Flaggschiff der europäisch-chinesischen Kooperation. Eröffnet am 23. Oktober 2008 von José Manuel Barroso, damals EU-Kommissionspräsident und Li Keqiang, damals Vizepremierminister der VR China, kann in diesem Jahr neben 40 Jahren Öffnungspolitik der VR China 10 Jahre europäisch-chinesischer juristischer Austausch gefeiert werden. Beides Anlässe zum Feiern, jedoch vor allem ein Anfang von Mehr.</p>
<p>Huang Jin, Präsident der China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), an der die China-EU School of Law angesiedelt ist, verwies auf die bereits erzielten Erfolge: 700 Absolventen der Master-Programme, Trainings von 9.000 Richtern, Staatsanwälten und Anwälten; Kooperationen von 150 Wissenschaftlern in 35 Forschungsprojekten sowie die Organisation von 50 Konferenzen sind nur die harten Fakten. Mit CESL wurde ein „Centre of Excellence“ geschaffen, das die besten Talente aus China und Europa anzieht. Zhang Fusen, chinesischer Co-Chair des Joint Managerial Committee sowie ehemaliger Justizminister lobte die in den ersten 10 Jahren erzielten Erfolge und blickte in die nächsten 10 Jahre. Danièle Alexandre, Universität Strasbourg öffnete ebenfalls den Blick in die Zukunft, in der es für europäische Juristen immer wichtiger wird, Kenntnisse von und Erfahrungen aus China zu erwerben. Ma Huaide, Vizepräsident der CUPL, verwies auf die zunehmende Internationalisierung der juristischen Ausbildung in China. Hinrich Julius, Universität Hamburg, europäischer Co-Chair des Joint Managerial Committee unterstrich die Einzigartigkeit von CESL als wahre europäische Ausbildung in China.</p>
<p>Ehemalige Studierende ließen ihre Zeit an der CESL Revue passieren: „Harte Arbeit, die auf die späteren Arbeitszeiten in der Kanzlei vorbereitet hat. Ständig wurden exakte Nachweise gefordert. Quellen müssen im Original zitiert werden – auch da hat für die spätere Praxis geholfen;“ fasste Mao Wenfei, Absolventin des Jahrgangs 2013 ihre Zeit an der CESL zusammen. Peter Leibküchler bestätigte die hohen Arbeitsanforderungen. Wichtig sei ihm jedoch vor allem die Zeit des gemeinsamen Studierens gewesen. Man habe Freunde fürs Leben gefunden. </p>
<p>10 Jahre waren ein guter Anlass, um gemeinsam in die Vergangenheit zu blicken, um für die Zukunft zu lernen. Die beteiligten 16 Universitäten aus China und Europa, deren Beteiligung von der Universität Hamburg koordiniert wird, blicken zuversichtlich in die Zukunft. Angesichts steigenden Interesses von Studierenden werden die bisherigen Programme weiter ausgebaut werden und noch in 2019 ein weiteres Masterprogramm für europäische Studierende zum chinesischen Recht eingerichtet werden. 10 Jahre erfolgreiche Kooperation stellen somit die Basis des weiteren Ausbaus von CESL dar.</p>

<p>China-EU School of Law Celebrates 10th Anniversary</p>
<p>Nicolas Chapuis, EU Ambassador to Beijing, highlighted the importance of the China-EU School of Law as part of the China-EU School of Law's 10th anniversary celebrations on 15 November 2018 in Beijing. The figure of 1.6 billion Euro daily trades illustrates the significance of the European-Chinese exchange. Europe is China's largest foreign trade partner and China ranks second to the US in Europe. Law is the basis of this exchange and the China-EU School of Law is the flagship of European-Chinese cooperation. CESL was inaugurated on 23 October 2008 by José Manuel Barroso, at that time EU Commission President, and Li Keqiang, at that time Deputy Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China. And this year, alongside 40 years of reform and opening-up of policy of the PRC, the 10 year anniversary of European-Chinese legal exchange can be celebrated. Both are occasions to celebrate, but above all signify a beginning of ‘more’.</p>
<p>Huang Jin, President of the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), which hosts the China-EU School of Law, highlighted the accomplishments that have already been made: 700 graduates of Master's programmes, training of 9,000 judges, prosecutors and lawyers, cooperation of 150 scientists in 35 research projects and the organisation of 50 conferences. And these are just the hard facts. CESL has created a "centre of excellence" that attracts the best talent from China and Europe. Zhang Fusen, Chinese Co-Chair of the Joint Managerial Committee and former Attorney General, praised the achievements made in the first 10 years and looked forward to the next 10 years. Danièle Alexandre, University of Strasbourg, remarked how important it is for European lawyers to acquire knowledge and experience regarding Chinese affairs. Ma Huaide, Vice President of CUPL, pointed at the increasing internationalisation of legal education in China. Hinrich Julius, University of Hamburg and European Co-Chair of the Joint Managerial Committee, underlined the uniqueness of CESL as a true form of European education in China.</p>
<p>Former students reviewed their time at CESL; “hard work and the commitment required to succeed in the programme did prepare us for the long working hours in the office. We also learned how to correctly cite, what revealed to be very helpful in my job as a lawyer,” is how Mao Wenfei, a 2013 graduate, summarised her time at CESL. Peter Leibküchler, a 2010 graduate, praised the high level of teaching and remembered fondly the time spent studying together. Those were the times, when you found friends for life, he remarked.</p>
<p>A 10 year anniversary is a good occasion to look back to the past in order to learn for the future. The 16 partner universities from China and Europe, whose consortium is coordinated by the University of Hamburg, look to the future with confidence. In view of the growing interest of students, the existing programmes will be further expanded. An additional Master programme for European students on Chinese law will be set up in 2019. 10 years of successful cooperation form the basis for further growth of CESL.</p><p>Foto: UHH/Jura</p>NAGR-fakrw-4864757-production2018-09-16T22:00:00ZCHINA TIME 2018: Volles Haus bei Podiumsdiskussion zum chinesischen Sozialkreditsystem<img width="293" height="165" style="float:left" src="https://assets.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/instance_assets/fakrw/4864745/2018-09-17-china-bild-12808c742d416f7a73406d0ce9e04cf55204b20e.jpg" /><p>Mehr als 200 Teilnehmer interessierten sich für den Stand und Einschätzungen zu dem Aufbau eines Sozialkreditsystems in China. Vor vier Jahren wurde ein Plan der chinesischen Regierung zur Einführung von Sozialen-Kreditsystemen vorgestellt. Seitdem wurden in mehr als 40 Pilotprogrammen Erfahrungen gesammelt, die weltweit nicht nur von Akademikern intensiv diskutiert werden. Prof. Genia Kostka (FU Berlin), Frau Katika Kühnreich (Politikwissenschaftlerin und Sinologin), Prof. Hinrich Julius (UHH) und Prof. Wolfgang Schulz (UHH / Hans Bredow Institut) diskutierten miteinander und insbesondere mit dem Publikum.</p>
<p>Große Datenmengen werden heute weltweit sowohl bei Privaten als auch bei öffentlichen Institutionen vorhanden. Der rechtliche Umgang mit diesem Phänomen ist unterschiedlich. In China werden hierin vor allem Chancen einer gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Fortentwicklung gesehen, während Europa den Datenschutz betont und auch hier massenhaft freiwillig Daten herausgegeben werden. Organisiert von der China-EU School of Law, zeigte sich erneut das gerade im Rahmen der CHINA TIME große Interesse an China – auch wenn erkenntlich ist, dass der Umgang mit großen Datenmengen eine weltweite Herausforderung ist.</p>
<p>CHINA TIME 2018: Great Interest House at Panel Discussion on Chinese Social Credit System</p>
<p>More than 200 participants were interested in the status and assessments of the establishment of a social credit system in China. Four years ago, a plan was presented by the Chinese government for the introduction of social credit systems. Since then, experience has been gained in more than 40 pilot programs, which are not only discussed by academics worldwide. Prof. Genia Kostka (FU Berlin), Mrs. Katika Kühnreich (political scientist and sinologist), Prof. Hinrich Julius (UHH) and Prof. Wolfgang Schulz (UHH / Hans Bredow Institute) discussed with each other and especially with the audience.</p>
<p>Large amounts of data are now available worldwide both in private and public institutions. The legal handling of this phenomenon is different. China sees opportunities for societal and economic development, while Europe emphasizes data protection against the fact of massive voluntary data releases. Organized by the China-EU School of Law, it interest in developments again was large – especially in the context of the CHINA TIME - even though it is clear that dealing with large amounts of data is a worldwide challenge.</p><p>Foto: UHH</p>NAGR-fakrw-4169132-production2018-04-23T22:00:00ZPublikumsdebatte: Wie soll die Zukunft der Europäischen Union aussehen?<img width="293" height="165" style="float:left" src="https://assets.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/instance_assets/fakrw/4168976/breakdown-2941903-733x414-e054820c12274ab746eee07388db99367cf7f087.jpg" />Am Freitag, 27.
