Soochow University, the predecessor of Suzhou University, was founded in 1900. 19 15, Soochow university law school was established in Shanghai. The teaching of the college emphasizes the content of "Anglo-American Law" and focuses on "Comparative Law". Its scientific training objectives and distinctive teaching characteristics made Soochow University's legal education famous at home and abroad at that time, sometimes called "South Soochow, North Chaoyang". It has trained a large number of famous legal experts in modern times, such as Wu, Ni Zheng (Japan), Li Haopei, Pan Handian and Mu Liang.
