Abstract

In the autumn of 1927, Zheng Hongnian appointed Shi Jiong as a professor and established the Department of Law, setting the educational goal of “cultivating useful judicial talents for national service and national glory”. He actively pursued legal education and pioneered a specialized course in Diplomatic Consular Affairs. The legal systems of the countries where overseas Chinese from Nanyang resided were predominantly based on the “Anglo-American Law” system. The “Anglo-American Law” education at Jinan University was distinctively emphasized, and the continuous refinement of the “Six Law” system led to a shift towards a “Comparative Law” model. As Jinan University’s legal education was flourishing, it faced dual calamities of war and educational crises, ultimately leading to its closure.
