Peking University Law School. Peking University (PKU) Law School was officially inaugurated on June 26, 1999.
Its precursor was the Law Department of Peking University, which was founded in the year of 1904, and therefore the institution with the longest history of modern legal education in China. In the 1952 “grand adjustment of law departments,” it was once merged into Beijing Politics and Law College. In 1954, however, PKU Law Department regained its independency, supported directly by Vice Premier Dong Biwu, then director of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the Government Administrative Council of China's Central People's Government . During the “Cultural Revolution” (1966-76), PKU Law Department was one of the only two law departments survived on the Chinese mainland. Since China's reform and opening-up of 1978 and the resume of the national college entrance exam, PKU Law Department has developed rapidly for the past 30 years. Now, PKU Law School has 40 full professors, of who 29 are Ph.D.
