Xinhua News, 2009-06-19
According to the official 2009 China University Student Employment Report, undergraduate students majoring in law and “related majors” reported the second lowest employment rate among all university majors. Among those law students who did find work, only 47% found jobs within the legal field. The problem stems largely from the rapid expansion of law departments over the last decade as schools raced to increase overall enrollment. Many colleges that previously did not offer legal studies and whose educational mission clearly does not include the law—for example a railway medical school—have also established law departments, leading to an excess of poorly-trained and unprepared law graduates. Another problem is law students' sole focus on the few law firm and government jobs in major cities, while many counties in rural China are desperately lacking legal professionals.
