Exploration on the Path of Collaborative between Legal Education and Social Work

As two indispensable dimensions in the social governance system, legal edu-ca-tion and social work have a profound internal connection in safeguarding fair-ness and justice and resolving social contradictions. Legal education con-structs social order based on legal rules, while social work repairs social rela-tions with humanistic care at its core. The collaborative development of the two is an in-evitable requirement for addressing complex social issues. Currently, legal edu-cation and social work in China are confronted with problems such as obvious professional barriers and weak practical connection, which restrict the cultiva-tion of interdisciplinary talents and the improvement of social govern-ance effi-ciency. Starting from the value congruence, this paper analyzes the theoretical basis and practical necessity of their collaboration, examines the existing pre-dicaments with practical cases, and finally puts forward collabora-tive paths from three aspects: the reconstruction of educational system, the in-novation of practical mechanism, and the optimization of institutional envi-ronment, so as to provide ideas for promoting the reform of legal education and the profession-al development of social work.
