Recently, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China and the National Development and Reform Commission released the "Opinions on Further Promoting the Construction of World-Class Universities and First-Class Disciplines", and the list of the second round of "double first-class" construction universities and construction disciplines was also announced on the same day. Wuhan University successfully passed the first round of "double first-class" construction assessment, and entered the second round of "double first-class" construction universities list. The discipline of law was also selected as a "double first-class" construction discipline again.

During the first round of construction, the Discipline of Law focused on the construction goal of "Chinese characteristics and world-class", comprehensively strengthened the leadership of the Party, built a high-quality faculty, and established a high-level talent cultivation system. We have actively implemented the Plan of Excellence in Law 2.0, produced a number of high-quality achievements, and built a high-level talent team. We actively participate in the drafting and validation of important documents, laws, and Party regulations, and protect national interests in the areas of global governance, territorial sovereignty, ecological civilization, and intellectual property protection. We have taken advantage of the disciplinary advantages of Wuhan University as a comprehensive university, and have responded to the need for the construction of new liberal arts by building "New Law". We ranked among the top 100 law schools in the world by QS.

In the new round of "double first-class" construction, the law discipline will fully implement the "double first-class" construction plan of Wuhan University, adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, enhance the "four consciousness", firmly "four self-confidence", and achieve "two maintenance". We should actively promote the construction of a world-class law discipline system, academic system and discourse system with Chinese characteristics. We will strive to cultivate talents at the top end, create excellent teachers and produce first-class results.
