Abstract:
After the Opium War, under the conflict and fusion between Chinese and western cultures, traditional legal education was confronted with a reform. The reform of legal education in the late Qing Dynasty went through two stages: learning from western legal culture, that is, legal politics study abroad, and widely disseminating modern legal culture, that is, legal politics education at home. In spite of its obvious utilitarianism and many malpractices in the organs of legal politics education, the newstyle legal education in those days exercised significant influence in absorbing western legal culture, popularizing knowledge of legal politics and promoting the judicial reform in modern times, which signaled the transformation of traditional legal education to a modern style.
