The whole idea of the club of humanism is to create a platform on which students and teachers
can communicate and discuss freely on the subject of human spirit and human nature. With a
heart to pursuit the true meaning of humanism, the members of our club are enthusiastic as they
are sapiential, and eager as they are reasonable. The Club of Humanism is always open to those

The Law School Youth League, Fudan University

Law School Youth League (LSYL) is originated from the Legal Association, which belonged to the
Law Department of Fudan University in 1980s. This dynamic association is mainly made up with
undergraduates from school of law. Theory study, together with professional practice has built up
the academic soul of our league. Time withers neither its firm beliefs nor unwavering pursuit of
better. Instead, even greater vigor appears.
LSYL is highly efficient due to the well-organized internal system, consisting of a president and
three vice presidents. The league president takes charge of the overall arrangement and also acts
as the representative to the public. The other three, however, look into more specific work,
including asset allocation, public relations, campus promotion, on-the-spot charge, paper work,
regular activity, and <Institutes> the law school review.
“The tree is known by its fruit.”(BIBLE, Matthew 12:33)
Over a decade, academic and practical achievements have been produced. Our activities cover a
rather broad field from UK-US moot court, Chinese moot court, academic salon, lawyers’ lecture,
legal dissemination and consultancy service, to case analysis and workshop. Not to mention the

expert talks provided by widely recognized scholars, legal practice seminars and other coorganized serial events with Shanghai Schools of Law Association.
<Institutes>, the monthly periodical edited by LSYL, has also gained certain influence even
outside the campus.
