In order to deepen the mechanism of cultivating legal talents, the College joined hands with the Beijing Mentougou District People’s Procuratorate to carry out a co-building activity on the morning of 23 Sept.
Attendees included Yan Junying, Party Secretary and Chief Procurator of the Mentougou District People’s Procuratorate, Deputy Chief Procurator Teng Yingjie, several members of the leadership team and police representatives, as well as Dean Xie Zhiyong, Deputy Chair of the Council Tian Zhaojun, and faculty and student representatives of the College.
At the signing ceremony, Dean Xie and Chief Procurator Yan jointly signed the co-building agreement, officially opening a new chapter of cooperation between the two sides. Afterwards, Xie Zhiyong, Tian Zhaojun, Yan Junying and Teng Yingjie jointly unveiled the plaque for the Legal Education Practice Base. This symbolised that both sides would conduct in-depth cooperation in areas such as internships and practical training, project research, academic advancement, discussions on complex cases, and the promotion of educational and teaching achievements, thereby jointly writing a new chapter in legal education and procuratorial practice.
In his address, Xie highlighted the College’s strengths in legal theory research and the training of professionals in foreign-related rule of law. He stressed the need to provide students with practical platforms, facilitate the transformation of research achievements, and achieve the dual-win goal of ‘enriching teaching with practice and serving justice with theory’. Yan remarked that the establishment of this educational practice base is an important measure to implement the requirements of rule of law in the new era. She pledged that the Procuratorate would leverage its rich practical resources to provide students with high-quality and efficient platforms through enriched resources, tailored training programmes and dedicated practice mentors. She also emphasised the importance of optimising mechanisms for academic exchange, external expertise, and talent training in collaboration with universities, with a view to promoting the organic integration of legal research and judicial practice, and achieving resource sharing, complementary strengths and mutual benefits.
After the co-building activity, Xie delivered a keynote lecture entitled ‘The Scope and System Construction of Supervisory Functions in Administrative Procuratorial Work in the Digital Era’. The lecture was conducted both online and on-site, with participants including administrative procuratorial personnel from procuratorial organs across Beijing, as well as representatives from the procuratorates of Lhasa and Duilongdeqing District in Tibet, and Liangcheng County in Inner Mongolia. In the lecture, Xie introduced new perspectives on procuratorial supervision from four aspects: the dual effects of digital technology empowering rule-of-law government, the supervisory challenges facing traditional administrative procuratorial work, the new supervisory scope of digital administrative procuratorial work and the system construction. He clarified the challenges, opportunities and development direction of digital administrative procuratorial work, injecting innovative impetus into the optimisation of supervisory approaches in this field.
Looking ahead, the College would take this co-building initiative as an opportunity to continuously deepen exchanges and cooperation with judicial practice departments, further promoting the organic integration of legal research, legal education and judicial practice, and realising resource sharing, complementary strengths and mutual bene
