To further implement Xi Jinping's thought on the rule of law, promote a positive interaction between legal education and prosecutorial practice, jointly implement the strategies of revitalizing the country through science and education and strengthening the nation through talent in the new era, and advance the cultivation of high-quality legal talents, the Law School of Beijing Normal University has launched a "Prosecutorial Practice" course in the spring of 2024, which will be lectured by experts with practical experience from the prosecutorial system. The course of "Procuratorial Practice" is based on the actual situation of prosecutorial work, focusing on the latest fields and achievements of prosecutorial reform, teaching students new concepts and practices of prosecutorial work in the new era, and laying a professional development foundation for law students who are interested in engaging in prosecutorial work and other judicial practices.

In the lecture section, Prosecutor Liu Jing first introduced the development status of China's securities and futures market to the students from the aspects of securities market structure, capital market formation, information disclosure system, and registration system reform. He also explained the overall situation and criminal regulation of securities and futures crimes in China from the perspectives of common types of securities crimes in judicial practice, execution chain mechanism, the function of procuratorial organs in managing securities and futures crime cases, and trend analysis of crime development.
