On 25 December 2013, President Truong Tan Sang, who is also Head of the Central Steering Committee for Judicial Reforms, had a working session with the Hanoi Law University
The Hanoi Law University, formerly called the Jurisprudence
College of Hanoi, was established in November 1979. During the past 34 years,
over 80,000 bachelors, 1,100 masters and 118 doctors graduated from the
university. Particularly, the university has conducted
17 state-level scientific projects contributing
to solving theoretical and practical problems regarding legal teaching, law-making,
law execution and judiciary in our country. These achievements gradually make the university
a key establishment in training legal officers and conducting legal science.
At the working session, President Sang highly appreciated the rapid development of the university in recent years,
which has contributed to the path of socialism building, institutional
improvement, institutional and legal reforms. In addition, President Sang said
that in the era of integration, especially in response
to the
Judicial Reform Strategy for 2020, the university not
only effectively
implements a project to make it a key establishment in training legal officers,
but also needs to further develop on par with the others in the region.
In order to do so, President Sang urged the university
to implement several solutions. Firstly,
the university needs to collaborate closely with
agencies including people’s courts, people’s procuracies and justice agencies to attract legal experts with high qualifications and experience to
participate in legal training. Secondly,
the university must improve the quantity and quality
of its lecturers, has policies to encourage
and facilitate them to be involved in practical
activities such as legal and policy making, legal counseling and legal aid,
which will assist them in legal teaching. Finally,
the university should improve its joint training in order to train legal officers with higher quality to meet the
country’s demand for judicial reforms.
