School
of Law
Legal education has been an integral part
of the educational program of UIBE since its earliest days. In 1984, as
the university realized how important a role law plays in the field of
international trade and economic cooperation, UIBE established its first
independent law department named the Department of International Business
Law. After 11 years of rapid development, the once small department decided
to be reorganized, and so the School of Law was founded in 1995. Though
16 years is not a long history, the School of Law has managed to establish
itself as a leading law school in China. It is able to grant law degrees
in all bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. By 2003, more than 800
students have graduated and some 300 received their master's or doctoral
degree. Today, a faculty of 33 members, including 7 professors and 20
assistant professors, is providing courses to over 180 undergraduates
and more than 330 post-graduates from home and abroad. With the increasing
demand of society for people in the legal profession, the size of the
school is planned to expand in the years to come.
Since its foundation, the School of Law has
been dedicated to academic and professional training of future scholars,
judges and senior lawyers engaged in the field of international economic
cases. To accomplish this goal, the School of Law strives to provide effective
and inspiring faculty who can train students in the process of legal analysis
as well as in the development of their foreign language proficiency and
knowledge regarding international trade. A special teaching method adopted
by the law school is 'case study', which resembles the teaching method
popular in almost every prominent law school in the United States. The
School of Law has been committed to promoting its academic research, recruiting
distinguished faculty members and setting proper courses for its outstanding
students.
The curriculum usually includes the following
courses: International Commercial Law, Corporate and Investment Law, Comparative
Contract Law, Law of Sales of Goods, Security Law, etc. Those courses
are taught in the form of case study and possess a leading position in
domestic legal education.
The School of Law has a
priority of cultivating its students' ability to innovate, to practice,
and their diligence in their future career. Thus, graduates of the School
of Law will find it not difficult to meet the changing needs of the knowledge-based
economy in the 21st century.
