The afternoon of February 25, 2005 held in Xiamen University's JESSUP International Law Moot Court Competition Chinese qualifier ended, and produced a championship team, winner -- Nankai UniversitySchool of lawTeam, will represent the American Chinese to participate in the finals; runner up in the rankings, Xiamen University is the host -- preliminary finalsSchool of lawTeam.

JESSUP International Law Moot Court Competition is the world's largest, oldest Moot Court Competition [c1] , one of the most famous International UniversitySchool of lawSchool StudentsTheCompetition, with "international law of the world championship"TheThe reputation of [c2] (someone likened it to the international law of the Olympic Games, I think it is not proper, as World Championship metaphor. Because the Olympic Games is generally refers to a comprehensive competition, and the world championship is the major events). It was founded in 1959, by the International Union of students (ILSA) and America society of international law (ASIL) jointly held since 60, officially named the JESSUP cup and still in use. There are more than 700 University in 90 countriesSchool of lawTo participate in this contest. [c3] the competition is divided into preliminary and final two stages. Preliminary contest of countries and regions, the winning team on behalf of the countries or regions to participate in the finals America held. This is the forty-sixth game, will be held in Washington from March 27, 2005 to April 2nd American.

Chinese, introduced in 2003 and began to participate in the tournament, the tournament for the third Chinese trials, the preliminary final held in February 25th at Xiamen University. A total of 15 from the College of Peking University, Fudan University, Nankai University, Renmin University of China, China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Zhejiang University, Minzu University of China, Guangxi Normal University, Sichuan University, Shandong University, Southwest University of Finance and economics, China Youth University for Political Science, University of International Relations and Xiamen University team [c4] , shows the team level of legal education and the comprehensive quality of the students, especially the legal professional English teaching the level and the students master the knowledge of international law level.

Although the author did not personally participate in the competition, but from the learned about the game background information and for many years engaged in legal education in China and AmericaComparisonThe study, it can infer the eventTheThe degree of difficulty, especially for professional legal English requirementsTheHigh, comprehensive quality requirements to participate in the competitionTheSheng is a fact (can be comparable with the famous international Varsity Debate). So, to attend law school (Department), JESSUP International Law Moot Court Competition how much can reflect the school (Department) of legal teaching level, especially the international law and the law of professional English teaching level. Especially for the Chinese teams. Remember the Fudan University team won the 2003 District championship and represented Chinese China to USA Washington to participate in the finals, the results do not know. But at least it can be inferred from the Fudan UniversitySchool of lawThe two teaching activity level. The China veteran elite team, Chinese people will certainly not strange. The famous international Varsity Debate almost each time to see the school athletes yingzi and style. Similarly, international law represents the highest level of Chinese mainland and legal English teaching, won the JESSUP Cup International Law Moot Court Competition Chinese District champion Fudan UniversitySchool of lawProbably cause everybody very curious. But the Nankai UniversitySchool of lawThe Moot Court Competition China District champion won the 2005 annual JESSUP international law, can not but arouse peer sit up and take notice! What is the power to lead the Nankai UniversitySchool of lawTo win in this qualifier in? The author with great curiosity began to visit and ponder.

Nankai University is a domestic famous universities is an indisputable fact, but the Nankai UniversitySchool of lawIn the domestic law school (Department) of the coordinate system is difficult to find a consistent location and schools. The schoolSchool of lawWas established in 2004,TheBefore the Department of law and political science, sociology and other known collectively as the College of law and politics. From its history is not difficult to find theSchool of lawComprehensive strength or influence than other larger effects (such as Department of Department of mathematics, history, etc.) to the school's contribution. But in the past two years in fact has changed greatly. Here only theSchool of lawParticipate in the two international qualifiers achievement is remarkable.

JESSUP International Law Moot Court Competition China zone qualifiers. In 2003 February, Nankai University College of law and politics for the first time, team up and get third good results. 2004 Nankai University fifth. Nankai University in February 25, 2005 the crown and won three awards (the other two awards as best writing award and the best debaterTheA).

Nankai UniversitySchool of lawSince the establishment of a newSchool of law, what causes the talent showing itself in the two international matches in qualifying? This may be related to the school and department leaders attach importance to the two international events related to. At the same time, also with theSchool of lawThe level of teaching (Teachers) and the students' comprehensive quality and training.

I found a news from the website of Nankai University: school leaders sent a letter to congratulateSchool of lawThe team won the championship (Nankai news network 2005-2-25). In the evening, Secretary of the Party committee to the common to the coaches and players to send e-mail, on behalf of the school to congratulate. Simulation results of a court qualifier, can get the party and government leadership attention and congratulatory letter. It can be said to be just out of courtesy greetings? If it is out of courtesy to consider, why the party and government leaders personally send email, but not by the other heads of department or office representative to call? And such a high specification "courtesy", why and Nankai equal visibility of other universities in China did not appear? This of course and the team's school leaders should pay more attention to the. From the school team list can be seen on the legal institutions, domestic some high-profile (Department) did not even participate in this match. Even in the university or college level leaders, also do not pay attention to. Because he (she) who might think that this international event with the legal teaching it doesn't matter much (in fact did not matter much?).

Nankai University College (Department) leadership not only pay attention to JESSUP this kind of international competitions, and have already started to practical action (imagine, in view of the "JESSUP" or "CIETAC" cup of this kind of difficult international tournament qualifier, if only pay attention to and not practical action and not prepared in advance, home win whether grasp?).

The author found that, in fact the formation of Nankai UniversitySchool of lawTheBefore it has begun to focus on the preparatory work. First, in the introduction of teachers, the introduction of Dr. law USA returned early in 2002 August, the College of law and Politics (JD) Mr. He Zhuyu began, Nankai University Legal Education intends to seek a breakthrough from the legal English teaching, to lay the foundation for later in the JESSUP game, set up the training team. Every educator knows, the teacher is the key to the school teaching point. Nankai school leadership certainly understand, NankaiTheLegal education for teachers is preferred when. The construction of NankaiSchool of lawClass is the first teacher of the law. Because the garden in Nankai, teachers, other resources not shortage. Brand, already a well-known domestic students. But, the professional legal in Nankai but did not form a traditional advantage and visibility. This can not but arouse the attention of school leaders. Therefore, the school began to introduce the legal talentsTheTime to set our sights on legal talent the largest and most concentrated America. Following what Master YuTheAfter 2004, China has introduced Dr. Xie Hongbin returned to return.

Teacher introduction, this is the first step, but also is the most critical step. Then, of course, is the training method and the persistence of the problem. Excellent teachers must have a way and method of training outstanding. Although I do not know the training method is inconvenient to visit and study of Nankai others "core technology", but that people should know the international legal knowledge and legal English is the most basic raw materials, the two are indispensable. Otherwise, even if a good method and capable person, also do not produce quality "products". On the other hand, Nankai based on conditions in the, but also gives the international events of the correct guidelines and attitude. Here, not to mention the Nankai school level leadership foresight and sagacity (especially professor Zhang Yongfu of director of Institute of Nankai University Law Studies). However, Nankai in 2004 year first won the "CIETAC" Cup International Commercial Arbitration moot China simulation of the Fifth DivisionTheAgo, due to inadequate training and lack of experience, there have been two years two defeat (failed to reach the semi-finals). But, Nankai did not give up to continue to participate in the international tournament qualifying match training. GenerationTheIt is to sleep on the brushwood, shown little patience and courage, goal orientation is not only to get good marks in the domestic area, but also for domestic line in the international finals. Through two years of much effort, Nankai finally realized this desire.

But the author curiosity lies not only won the JESSUP reason analytical Nankai qualifying China zone, and is willing to further explore why other domestic famous law school (Department) but no reason or fail to win the race.

Tsinghua University, Wuhan University, Nanjing University, China Foreign Affairs University and other prestigious law school (Department) failed to appear the participant list, is really surprising. Beijing University, and China University of Political Science and Law failed to win, is disappointing. Peking University, China University of Political Science and Law two famous law school (Department) with the teaching of international law tradition and deep foundation, and the quality of students has always been not weak (at least not weak in Nankai.). Why these two prestigious law school (Department) in recent years in the two World Cup qualifier in Chinese failed to win? Just do not pay enough attention to or neglect can be explained? And do not say the country to introduce the two events to promote or improve the domestic laws of knowledge in the field of teaching level, Nankai can sleep on the brushwood and do all one can to catch up, is north and China law can be a contemptuous disregard?

Nankai just introduced a JD degree gainer -- what Master Yu, China University of Political Science and Law almost at the same time the introduction of two JD Graduates -- Professor Xu Chuanxi (Harvard JD) and Professor Qi Dongxiang (Yale JD). Why China University of Political Science and Law has more resources and advantage but fails to pay attention to the two international tournament? Why not invite China and associate professor of Xu Chuanxi or Qi Dongxiang himself the team training? Peking UniversitySchool of lawMore Professor Su Li presided over the teaching of international law, and has the advantages of traditional, why can not the same attention or win? The legal English teaching is really a contemptuous disregard this international event? If the answer is yes, then ecstatic. But the reality was once let a person feel disappointed.

I have been hoping to Beijing University and China University of Political Science and Law, the two famous domestic legal institutions, especially the latter as the leader in the domestic legal education and two years ago began to build between China and the United StatesSchool of lawFuture development, and to China legal education will have a guiding role. If the north or Chinese and even the two international events are not enough or not actively participate in, or not in the domestic and international Chinese to win game, how will we know yourself as well as the enemy? How will we progress? (end)

Tsinghua has not participated in the really shocked. But the contest has a strange phenomenon, the first domestic division of the Nankai University in the finals scores than host (Xiamen University Xiamen University at their own expense to Washington). Southwest University of Political Science and Law, some views are very new, very dare say, the totalTheAfter watching the game, big long knowledge. Tsinghua's brothers and sisters, really want to see you play charm.

Although the author prefers to Peking University and law, but the actual situation is not what you want, but not despise a school or a college, or to say a school students quality must be higher than another school students quality, I beg to differ.

I think Tsinghua did not participate in the really regret, sincerely hope more, high level of some university ChinaSchool of lawTo participate in this contest.

Objectively, the Nankai UniversitySchool of lawIn China brandSchool of lawThe Department is the end, but this does not mean that his students' level is not high, from this a few times in the JESSUP result that some third, 03 years, 04 years 05 years fifth, first is also not surprising.

Is 100 meters race with a preliminary group can only have two players to enter the finals, so in the final preliminary round group must be run in the first than the run of second?

I want to belittle others despise myself, right, the author?
