Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court and Tongji University jointly launched a course on international legal practices on March 11, aiming to foster a fusion of theory and practical skills while nurturing talent in foreign legal affairs.
The inaugural session offered to law majors at the university was led by Mao Haibo, vice-president of the court, focused on hot topics and prospects in international commercial judgments. The lecture seamlessly integrated theory with real-world scenarios, offering a rich array of content and vivid case studies.
Drawing from quite a number of complex international cases handled by the Pudong court, Mao delved into how judges precisely distill points of contention and apply international regulations correctly, thereby enhancing China's judicial influence internationally.
This not only exposed students to the complexities of judicial practice, but also helped them grasp the rigorous legal logic and value judgments behind judicial decisions, said Mao.
