Abstract

This paper explored how to apply case method teaching in undergraduate law teaching in China through comparative analysis, literature research and practical investigation. It was analyzed that the case method teaching has specific content, applicable scenarios and important significance in the United States where the method originated. However, when introduced into China’s law undergraduate education, this method has been alienated in the aspects of teaching status, teaching methods, teaching content and teaching effects, leading to a dilemma. In this condition, in order to realize the right application and domestication of the case method teaching, this paper proposed that based on China’s national conditions, conduct targeted reforms by clarifying which curriculum and what time to adopt case method teaching, cultivating qualified teachers, and perfect supporting mechanisms.
