Abstract

Under the background of the formal establishment of China's Unified Qualification System for Legal Professionals, the long-standing problem of independence and competition between undergraduate legal education and qualification exam for legal professionals has become more prominent in China. In order to ensure the efficiency of legal education and the accurate identification of qualified legal talents in the qualification exam for legal professionals, we should re-understand the normal relationship between the undergraduate legal education and the qualification exam for legal professionals, connect the undergraduate legal education with the qualification exam for legal professionals, rationally view and actively solve the impact of the qualification exam for legal professionals on the study and employment of law school students .We should adjust the orientation of undergraduate legal education through policy promotion, and reform the qualification exam for legal professionals at the same time, so that the two can be better connected, so as to promote the development of legal education.
