At the opening ceremony of the course, Zhao Xianzhong, vice-president of Tongji University, emphasized the school's commitment to cultivating talent in international legal affairs, outlining concrete measures in faculty recruitment, curriculum development, research project setting, and infrastructure building.

"Moving forward, the university plans to consolidate resources to establish itself as a hub for specialized talent development," he said.

The course on international legal practices will cover topics, such as international criminal law, international civil and commercial law, intellectual property rights, and international finance, aiming to broaden students' legal perspectives, enhance their overall legal literacy, and improve their skills in international judicial practice.

"Integrating international conventions, this first session of the course has enriched my understanding of foreign legal systems and strengthened my resolve to pursue a career in international legal practice," said Wang Yunshi, a student taking the course.

So far, the Pudong court has collaborated with five universities in Shanghai to offer semester-long courses on international judicial practices. Judges from the court have conducted 54 sessions for both Master's and undergraduate students, benefiting over 3,300 young people.
