On June 5, Ningbo Lawyer Development & Research Center was established in Zhejiang Wanli University, which serves as an innovative attempt of developing the joint training pattern for lawyers between judicial administration and colleges.

At present, there are 124 law firms and 1414 lawyers in Ningbo. The "scale, brand and specialization" construction of the bar has achieved stage success with the establishment of the 19 legal professional committees in the fields of maritime affairs and marine trade, international investment and financing and corporate mergers and acquisitions.

"Despite the achievements in building legal talent teams, there is still a lack of high-end lawyers. For instance, there are almost no lawyers engaged in the services for listed companies in Ningbo." said Tong Quankang, President of Ningbo Bar Association, "The 12th Five-year Plan makes it clear to make over 100 companies listed, which poses a great demand for the development and introduction of related lawyer talents. At present, the enterprises have to consult lawyers in such developed cities as Beijing and Shanghai when meeting legal problems in their process of getting listed on market. We should accord top priority to the development of lawyers and the bar."

The establishment of the center, based on the resource platform and talent developing mechanism of the university, will greatly promote the development of lawyer talents training
