Russian-Chinese round table “Modern legal science and education in Russia and China”

The Round Table addresses issues of modern legal education and legal science in Russia and China. It is noted that in these countries, legal education and legal science are going through a transitional period. In both Russia and China, the introduction of market mechanisms and extensive contact with the West have led to the transformation of jurisprudence. Scientists and teachers faced the problem of adapting the national legal tradition to new historical conditions. The comparative analysis of Russia and China is also interesting because both states have a socialist past, and the legal system, legal science and legal education of China have experienced a noticeable influence of the USSR.
