Combining Formal and Substantive Innovation:Development and Innovation in Legal Publicity and Education
Legal publicity and education play a significant role in achieving universal compliance with the law and building a rule-of-law society.Particularly for ensuring the comprehensive advancement of governing the country according to the law in the new era,they have an irreplaceable role in enlightenment,cultural dissemination,and innovation leadership.Since 1985,China's legal publicity and education efforts have been implemented for nearly 40 years,successively launching eight five-year plans for popularizing law.These efforts have accumulated valuable experiences in various aspects of"formal innovation",such as content,form,subjects,and mechanisms,enhancing the depth and breadth of legal publicity and education to a certain extent,and significantly improving citizens'legal literacy and levels.However,at the more abstract and deeper level of basic theoretical research,there are still deficiencies in"substantive innovation"concerning the essential attributes,principles,and objective laws of legal publicity work.This has,to some extent,inhibited the initiative,enthusiasm,and proactivity of both the legal publicity entities and the subjects learning the law.To continuously and effectively improve legal publicity and education,"formal innovation"with"substantive innovation"should be combined in future efforts.While steadily advancing"formal innovation",emphasis should be placed on promoting"substantive innovation"in the basic theoretical aspects of legal publicity and education.
