What should the legal popularization work keep up with the times?

Legal popularization work must keep up with the times and work hard on pertinence and effectiveness.

Law popularization among all people is a long-term basic work for comprehensively governing the country according to the law. Comprehensive arrangements have been made for the Eighth Five-Year Plan for popularizing the law. This is an important measure for in-depth study, publicity and implementation of the thought of the rule of law and to consolidate the foundation for comprehensively governing the country according to the law. It is an objective need to serve the economic and social development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, based on the new development stage, implement new development concepts, and promote high-quality development. It is an inevitable requirement to meet the people’s growing demands for the rule of law and to continuously improve citizens’ legal literacy and the level of legalization of social governance.

Since 1986, our country has successively implemented and completed seven five-year legal popularization plans. The study and publicity of the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics with the Constitution as the core has been carried out in depth, and the law popularization responsibility system such as who enforces the law has been widely implemented. The concept of the rule of law in the whole society has been significantly enhanced, and the level of legalization of social governance has been significantly improved.

Form of communication

Make full use of social forces to carry out public welfare and law popularization. In 2020, 930,000 young legal-popularization volunteers nationwide carried out more than 1.2 million legal-popularization activities, playing a positive role in promoting the construction of a rule-of-law China. Giving full play to the role of mass organizations and social organizations in legal popularization and promoting the normalization and institutionalization of legal popularization voluntary services can better promote the formation of a practical pattern in which the people widely participate in legal popularization activities.

Make full use of new technologies and new media to carry out accurate legal popularization. In recent years, the national smart legal popularization platform has been gradually improved, and the media communication forms with legal popularization as the main content have become more and more diverse. Personalized legal popularization products such as short videos, webcasts, and animations have appeared frequently, promoting one-way communication to interactive and service-oriented ones. Changes in communication style and scene-based communication will enhance the audience’s sense of participation, experience, and gain, making legal education more popular among the masses.
