记者(Reporter):What is the difference between Peking University Law School and your STL in Shenzhen. As far so I know Peking University Law School is one of the leading law school in China, Could you share with us the difference of PKU and STL.
北京大学法学院的课程教育和北大深圳研究生院的法学院有何不同?据我所知,北京大学法学院是国内法律教育的前沿,您能介绍一下他们之间的不同吗?
雷蒙教授(Doc Lehman):PKU is the symbol of outstanding legal education in China, preparing Chinese students to be Chinese lawyers, members of the Chinese Bar Association. STL will be a complement. It will provide the same quality of legal education looking outside China. So PKU law school is primarily looking inside China. Student also study international law of course at PKU, But the main focus is inside China. At STL the main focus will be outside China. So for example, students at PKU in Beijing study all the courses in Chinese, not all the course, but almost all the courses. Here at STL, all the courses will be English, because English is the language of international business and transnational law.
北京大学法学院是中国最出色法律教育的象征,它使众多中国学生成为了律师,很多律师也成为了中国律师协会的成员。STL可以作为中国法律教育的一个补充,它将提供具有同样教学水平的、面向国外的法律教育,相比之下,PKU法学院的教学内容则基本面向国内。虽然在PKU,学生也学习国际法课程,但其教学重点主要放在中国国内的环境中。在STL,教学重点将放在国际环境中,比如在PKU,学生上所有法学课程时都用中文教学,可能不是所有课程,但基本大多数课程用中文教学。而在STL,所有的课程都是用英文教学,因为英语是国际商业和国际法律界通用的语言。
记者(Reporter):So STL has the characteristic of multiple perspective.
所以STL具有多角度特点。
雷蒙教授(Doc Lehman):Yes, it is a difference in degree. Both schools share a commitment to excellence, commitment to being world class. But subject focus is different, here the focus is transnational law, so student will spend much more time at STL studying the common law. At PKU, there are some courses that are focused on common law, but more focused on civil law. So the two go together, the perfect legal education in my opinion will be to have a degree from STL and a degree from PKU in Beijing.
对,他们只是在学位上有不同,两所学院都以建设国际级的优秀法律教育为使命。两所学院在课程上的教授重点存在不同,在深圳的法学院以国际法课程为主,所以学生将花更多的时间学习普通法,在PKU,有一部分课程以普通法为主,而更多的课程重点放在了民法上。所有我认为,如果把两所学院的学历结合起来,就可以形成最好的法律教育。
