History
The Chinese Society of Political Science and Law was established in July 1982.[1] Yang Xiufeng was elected as Honorary President, while Wu Xinyu was elected as president.[2] The China Law Society encompasses research societies focused on jurisprudence, constitutional law, administrative law, civil law, commercial law, economic law, criminal law, procedural law, comparative law, and environmental resources law.[3]
In November 2013, the 7th National Congress of the China Law Society commenced with the presence of Chinese Communist Party and state leaders, including Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China; Zhang Dejiang, Chairman of the National People's Congress; and Liu Yunshan, Secretary of the Central Committee Secretariat. Wang Lequan, the former deputy secretary of the Central Political and Law Commission, has been chosen president of the China Law Society.[4]
The eighth national conference of the China Law Society convened in March 2019. Wang Chen, the vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), has been chosen President of the China Law Society.[5] In 2015, the China Law Society established the Leading Group for Drafting Civil Code, led by society vice president Zhang Mingqi.[6]
In June 2021, the Research Center for Xi Jinping Thought on Rule of Law was established in the China Law Society with the approval of the CCP Central Committee. At a speech during the launch, China Law Society Director Wang Chen called the Thought "the latest achievement in the Sinicization of Marxist theory on the rule of law".[7]
