Recently, the mobilization meeting for the first internship of judge assistants in Shanghai courts was held at the Shanghai branch of the National Judicial Academy. As the first provincial-level college led internship and training project in the country, the first batch of 126 intern judge assistants will undergo a three-day centralized training and will be "certified to work", exploring a new path for deepening university cooperation and cultivating a high-quality legal talent team in the new era. "The practical teaching of law plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating high-quality rule of law talents. The first batch of internship judge assistants in Shanghai courts, which lasted for three months, took an important step in college cooperation, opened a new starting point for cooperation between the two sides, built a bridge between legal theory and judicial practice, and achieved the combination of learning and application, and the realization of knowledge from facts." said Tan Bin, a member of the Party Group and Director of the Political Department of the Shanghai Higher People's Court. In February 2023, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council formulated and issued the "Opinions on Strengthening Legal Education and Theoretical Research in the New Era", Require the establishment of a system for law enforcement departments, legal service institutions, and other institutions to receive internships and practical training from law students, explore the role of law students as assistant judges and prosecutors, and actively expand the channels for law students to intern in international organizations. In order to better implement the specific requirements of the "Opinions", the Shanghai Higher People's Court actively explores the implementation of the internship judge assistant project and formulates the "Shanghai Court Internship Judge Assistant Management Measures". Through a strict selection mechanism, the first batch of 126 internship judge assistants are selected from law school students. After receiving centralized training, they go to all levels of courts and departments in the city to carry out a three-month internship and practical training, Personally participate in the daily work of the people's court and the entire process of case trial. It is understood that the internship judge assistant project has built a bridge for law students to gain a deeper understanding of the People's Court, and will explore a new practical path for the organic connection between legal education and the legal profession, and the cultivation of new era rule of law talents. In order to strengthen the cultivation of high-quality legal talents, the Shanghai court has tailored a series of training and learning projects for intern judge assistants: deepening understanding of the meaning and scope of application of legal provisions through attending panel discussions, professional judge meetings, and case discussions; By assisting in reviewing litigation materials, organizing files, and searching for similar cases, we can gain a deeper understanding of the case handling process and legal norms; "Although law graduates who leave school have a strong ability to acquire knowledge, there are also shortcomings in their legal professional practical abilities. The Shanghai Court's internship judge assistant project aims to help law schools improve the supply of legal talent from the source," said Tan Bin, by participating in drafting legal documents, receiving parties involved, understanding case details, and accumulating practical experience. "Seeing these vibrant faces, I feel like I'm going back to years when I was still studying," Sun Zhongyun, Director of the Political Department of the People's Court of Pudong New Area in Shanghai, told a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily. "For new problems and situations that arise in judicial practice, we should actively leverage our assistants to come from the forefront of theoretical research."
