RENMIN LAW SCHOOL
　　Founded in 1950 and located in Beijing, Renmin University of China (RUC) remains best known for excellence in the humanities and social sciences. Renmin Law School stands as one of RUC's most acclaimed schools. The current Dean of the Law School is Professor Han Dayuan.

　　After its founding in 1950, Renmin Law School became the first institution of legal higher education in the People's Republic of China and, as such, is dubbed by many as the “cradle” nurturing China's most outstanding jurists. Leading the Law School's list of many honors is the 1998 National May First Labor Merit Award, which was the first such award granted by the Ministry of Education to an institution of higher learning.

　　Renmin Law School inherited the vaunted tradition of the former Chaoyang University when the two schools merged shortly after the founding of the PRC. Established in 1912, Chaoyang University became so synonymous with legal practice in China that the saying went, “no Chaoyang, no courts.”
