Luminaries from the legal field at home and abroad converged at one of the country's leading law schools on Nov 24, looking back on the school's stellar achievements in the past decades. The school's history facing challenges and ability to tap opportunities presented in the digital era and globalization were also discussed.

At Wuhan University in Central China's Hubei province, academics, officials, professionals, alumni and guests marked the 111th anniversary of the founding of the discipline at the college and the 40th year of the resumption of legal education on its grounds. The university is one of the top-ranked colleges in China, with law graduates filling top positions in domestic and international fields. Representatives from more than 50 major institutions and organs, including the elite Peking and Tsinghua universities and Renmin University of China, as well as the Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate, also attended the celebration.

In a welcome speech at the event, Dou Xiankang, president of Wuhan University, said legal education has always been a core field of the college and it plays a key role in the modern rule of law in the country amid globalization, with teachers and students carrying forward a spirit of "self-improvement" and "innovation" to help open new chapters in the sector.

Zhang Wenxian, member of the Party committee of the China Law Society and director of the academic committee, pointed to the role of the university's law school in the upgrading, innovation and integration of traditional and emerging fields and disciplines toward national development in the new era.
