How to strengthen legal publicity and education to serve economic and social development

Reflections on Strengthening Legal Education in New Countryside

The 11th Five-Year Plan depicts the grand blueprint for building a new socialist countryside. Rural legal education is a basic work of grassroots democracy and rule of law. Focusing on the theme of "new rural construction", it is particularly important to strengthen the persistence, pertinence and effectiveness of publicity and education, further enhance farmers' legal awareness and legal quality, and maintain the stability of rural grassroots. The Fifth Five-Year Plan of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Justice has identified farmers as the key targets of the Fifth Five-Year Plan. Various departments at all levels have issued a series of policies and measures on how to strengthen farmers' legal publicity and education. Our county is a big agricultural county, with a large proportion of agricultural population. Therefore, the author believes that we must unswervingly focus on rural areas and inject vitality and vitality into building a safe and harmonious new countryside in the county.

First, further consolidate the position of popularizing law in rural areas and ensure durability. The work of popularizing law in rural areas has a long way to go, and it cannot be done overnight. The important thing is perseverance and perseverance. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the idea of "fighting a protracted war", take consolidating the position of rural law popularization as a breakthrough, and constantly promote the in-depth and lasting development of rural law popularization education. The first is to improve the rural legal popularization network. Establish organizations and leading bodies at all levels and strengthen organizational leadership. Consolidate the four-level legal popularization network of township (district) legal branch school, village (neighborhood) Committee legal night school, village group legal study room and ten legal propagandists. Strengthen the construction of personnel team, arrange special personnel for each network, and implement work funds. Strengthen the inspection and supervision of the work, so that the work of popularizing the law is really managed, arrested and done. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of township judicial offices and give full play to the role of township judicial offices as "bridgehead" and "vanguard" in rural legal publicity and education. Incorporate rural law popularization into the assessment content of comprehensive management and civilization construction at all levels, so that rural law popularization work can penetrate into every link and level of rural work. The second is to adjust and enrich the rural legal popularization team. Form a team of legal volunteers. Make full use of existing human resources, and set up a team of legal publicity volunteers with certain legal knowledge and enthusiasm for public welfare, including retired cadres, legal workers and law school students. Give full play to the overall advantages of judicial administrative organs in providing legal services, coordinate with rural areas, support volunteers to serve as village legal night school teachers, regularly carry out activities of "sending the law to the countryside", and provide farmers with various convenient and fast legal services such as legal publicity and education, legal consultation and mediation of civil disputes. With township cadres as the backbone, a group of lecturers will be formed to teach legal knowledge from village to village in accordance with the principle of piecemeal responsibility and the actual production and life of farmers. It is clear that the members of the village "two committees" and the people's mediators are the backbone of legal publicity and take the lead in organizing farmers to learn the law. Give full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of rural party member, and take the lead in learning, using and abiding by the law in production and life. The third is to strengthen the construction of legal popularization facilities. Set up publicity columns for popularizing law in central areas such as rural markets with relatively concentrated population and active economy, insist on regularly updating the contents of popularizing law, and publicize basic legal knowledge closely related to agriculture and rural areas for farmers. At least one legal publicity column should be set up in each village so that farmers can learn and master policy and legal knowledge at any time. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of law study rooms in village groups, enrich law books and provide convenience for farmers to learn law. At the same time, the legal departments should seize some hot, difficult and focal issues in different periods, select typical cases, compile legal publicity materials or collect and sort out some audio-visual materials of legal programs, and send them to rural areas for legal publicity in time.

Second, we must grasp the key points of rural law popularization and highlight the pertinence. Focus on the overall situation of rural reform, development and stability, highlight the key points of law popularization, carry out targeted legal education, and enhance the pertinence of rural law popularization. The first is to grasp the key targets of rural law popularization. "Village to see the village, households to see households, the masses to see party member cadres". As far as rural areas are concerned, the key targets of legal publicity and education should be party member and village cadres among the villagers. Their legal awareness, ability and level of handling affairs according to law directly affect farmers' enthusiasm for learning the usage of law and the legal atmosphere in rural areas. Therefore, it is necessary to organize effective legal publicity and education for key targets. The second is to clarify the key contents of rural law popularization. Vigorously strengthen the publicity and popularization of grassroots democracy and legal system construction, land contracting, product trading, protection of workers' rights and interests and other related laws and regulations. Carry out legal popularization activities in combination with rural central work and hot issues that farmers care about, publicize and popularize relevant laws and regulations, and make farmers receive profound legal education. Starting from the needs of farmers, starting from the issues that farmers are most concerned about, we should combine legal education with serving the masses, strengthen farmers' legal awareness with solving practical problems in farmers' production and life, do our work in the hearts of farmers, strive to achieve visible, tangible and tangible effects of popularizing the law, and further stimulate farmers' enthusiasm and creativity in participating in rural legal construction. The third is to carry out law popularization around maintaining rural stability. Rural stability means overall stability. In view of the signs that affect the stability of rural areas, different relevant laws and regulations are selected at different times to educate farmers about law popularization, and rural contradictions and disputes are investigated and mediated according to law. Combined with the anti-gambling and anti-drug work, we will vigorously carry out legal publicity on "no gambling", anti-gambling and anti-cult activities, educate and guide farmers to establish the concept of consistent rights and obligations, standardize their words and deeds according to law, solve hot issues in rural areas according to law, help farmers solve disputes according to law, act according to law, safeguard their rights and interests according to law, prevent illegal crimes, and promote and maintain rural stability. The fourth is to carry out law popularization around the construction of democracy and the rule of law. Taking the activity of establishing a "model village of democracy and the rule of law" as the carrier and the implementation of the organic law of villagers' committees as the main line, we will conscientiously implement the system of "four democracies and two openness", effectively protect the democratic rights of villagers, let villagers personally realize the importance and necessity of learning, knowing, using and abiding by the law, and realize the transformation from "I want to learn the law" to "I want to learn the law".

The third is to innovate the way of popularizing law in rural areas and enhance the effectiveness. Rural law popularization work should adapt to the characteristics of farmers' production and life, try to avoid the busy farming season, and strive to pay equal attention to production and popularization. The first is to further play the role of traditional ways and means. Combining the popularization of movies, literature, legal consultation, legal popularization and other popular methods of popularizing law. Through vivid forms such as case explanation, picture explanation, sitting in on the trial and case explanation, the abstract legal provisions are turned into simple and easy-to-understand "wall poems", "quick books" and "jingles", so that the peasants can understand, learn, remember and use them. Secondly, we should give full play to the role of modern media in rural legal publicity. Using modern media means such as Internet, TV and SMS, we should give full play to its advantages of wide coverage, fast communication speed, vivid image and great influence to carry out rural law popularization, increase the scientific and technological content of publicity and expand the publicity effect. Third, seriously organize and carry out a series of publicity and education activities on the theme of legal system. Seize the "Rural Legal Publicity and Education Month", "Youth Legal Publicity Week" and "12? 4. Legal publicity day "and a series of themes to carry out legal activities. At the same time, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the professional law and departmental law, we will jointly carry out the publicity and popularization of professional laws and regulations with the functional departments of taxation, safety supervision, transportation and land, and create a strong atmosphere for popularizing laws in rural areas. Fourth, combining the legal service function of people's mediation, do a good job in popularizing law in rural areas. In the prevention and mediation of rural civil disputes, we should publicize relevant laws and regulations in depth in combination with rural reality, so as to achieve the best effect of "mediation together and education together". It is necessary to provide high-quality legal services for rural parties, organically combine legal services with legal publicity, and expand coverage.
