The average pass rate of the exam in recent years is only about 10%, which is jokingly called "the world's first exam". However, the pass rate of this "xueba class" of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law is as high as 70.83%, which is the first outstanding legal talent experimental class of the Law School of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law.
A total of 24 undergraduate students in the class took the exam, 21 passed the objective questions, 17 passed the subjective questions, and the pass rate of the two exams was as high as 70.83%. In addition, of the 29 students in the class, 10 are guaranteed to study at well-known universities in China such as Peking University, and 5 are planning to study abroad.
The class Xiang Wenhao passed the subjective examination of the law examination with a high score of 131, and was awarded the title of "Excellent Debater" in the "Law Cup" Moot Court Competition for two consecutive years.
The school's outstanding legal talent experimental class has officially enrolled new students from the whole school since 2016, with more than 300 applicants per year, and after written examination and interview selection, 30 people were finally admitted. Xu Diyu, dean of the Law School of Central South University, pointed out at the opening ceremony of the first experimental class that the experimental class of outstanding legal talents is more exploring models that can be copied and promoted. It is necessary to promote the reform of teaching and form an attractive group through the "experiment" of experimental classes; first, to let students become legal talents who are unique in professional skills and humanistic qualities; second, to cultivate learning ability, learn to ask questions, analyze problems and solve problems.
Teachers teach
The achievements of the "Xueba Class" are inseparable from the continuous exploration and innovation of the school in the teaching practice of the "Outstanding Legal Talents" experimental class. At the same time, the college draws on the German teaching experience and allocates corresponding case analysis courses in the core curriculum of law. Central South University Law School is also one of the first law schools in The country to carry out case study courses.
Every week, the experimental class students have to complete tens of thousands of words of case analysis report training. Each training has undergone a series of rigorous processes such as "publishing cases - self-answering - group discussions - submitting appraisal reports and discussion minutes - teaching assistant corrections - classroom explanations and discussions - submitting revised appraisal reports". Many students received the first grade of the homework marked the large piece of red as "shocking", and gave it a name called "Yizhang Red". Xiang Wenhao said, "The teachers' serious and responsible attitude is particularly touching to everyone, and they are strictly demanding, and we will improve step by step." ”
Case study class student work
The curriculum assessment of the experimental class is also quite strict. In addition to the traditional written test, interviews are commonplace. Introduce and discuss specific topics in front of the teacher to test the understanding and adaptability of the entire course. However, the "most difficult" exam in the minds of the experimental class students is still half of the case analysis assessment of the open book nature. This type of exam requires students to write one or two case studies on the spot with only reference to the law. Completing a difficult case study in a very limited time is a great test of analytical ability, expression ability, and even physical strength. According to the students, the longest "property law" case analysis and assessment, the teacher asked the students to prepare dry food in advance. With the use of computers, the entire exam lasted five hours, from day to night.

The Outstanding Legal Talents Experimental Class implements a dual tutor system, in addition to the counselor and class teacher, every three students are equipped with a professional tutor and a practical tutor. Professional tutors are responsible for the study of the usual courses and the improvement of professional qualities, while the practical tutors are served by people from the legal practice department to guide students to enter the practice team in the second semester of their sophomore year. In the summer vacation of their sophomore year, Zhu Linxiao and Chen Xiaoyue went through layers of selection to intern at Hong Kong and Qibang Law Firm, and their work performance was well received by the teachers of the law firm.
Students in the lab class are asked to submit their recent personal plans at regular intervals, and professional tutors and class teachers will provide targeted assistance and guidance.

"We have also visited some teachers' homes, and the class teacher, Mr. Guo Beibei, will personally cook and take charge of the spoon, and the teachers and students will discuss academic and life issues while eating, and they will enjoy and harmonize." Xiang Wenhao said.
