Recently, LexisNexis, the world's leading provider of legal information content and technical solutions, joined hands with China National Books Import and Export (Group) Corporation and China Educational Books Import and Export Co., Ltd. to jointly host the first "LexisNexis" Cup University Legal Elite Challenge. This competition is open to undergraduate and postgraduate students majoring in law in universities and colleges across the country. It aims to encourage law students of universities and colleges to be proficient in using the legal information database and provide professional references and solutions for practical legal problems by searching relevant policies, regulations, expert interpretations and cases, so as to improve the legal information literacy and diversified professional abilities of law students.
This competition is divided into two stages: the online preliminary for students and the final for the winning schools. Up to now, more than 60 schools have signed up for the competition, of which 985 and 211 account for about half.
The construction of legal informatization is one of the hot topics in recent years. At the national level, we have opened four judicial platforms. At the enterprise level, various corporate legal and compliance departments and law firms are vigorously developing legal management systems. Big data and artificial intelligence give us more technical methods to share resources and improve efficiency. How to quickly and effectively analyze and find valuable clues in massive information for practical legal problems and provide reference for actual cases has increasingly become an important skill for law major students, which will be of great benefit to their future jobs.
Lexisnexis, a division of RELX Group PLC, employs more than 10,000 people worldwide and provides world-leading legal content and technology solutions to clients in 135 countries. In the United States, most of the 1,650 universities and colleges in the United States use Lexisnexis products, and the student user scale can reach 7.2 million, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of law students. Lexisnexis entered the Chinese market in the 1990s, and has maintained good cooperation with universities and colleges. Currently, students from hundreds of universities are using Lexisnexis' legal database products.
Law students are the future of the legal profession, says Cao Zhonglin, sales director of Lexisnexis China. It is very beneficial for the career development of elite legal professionals to establish a good habit of searching and analyzing legal information when they are students. It is hoped that the university students will actively participate in the "Lianxun" Cup University Legal Elite Challenge Competition, and compete for excellence and success!
Ms. Jie Zhang, Director of Digital Marketing Center of China National Books Import and Export (Group) Corporation, said: We are very pleased to co-host this competition with Lexisnexis. We note that with the informationization of book products, schools are paying more attention to and actively promoting the use of online databases while introducing high-quality paper books. This has played a positive role in improving the learning efficiency of law majors and helping students to integrate with the mainstream application and management methods in society as soon as possible. As one of the largest publications importers and exporters in China, Zhongtu is willing to serve as a bridge between Lexisnexis and experts and students from universities and colleges in China.
