Application of Moot Court in the Teaching of Forensic Pathology
Forensic science is rooted in medicine and serves the law.Forensic pathology requires students to have professional theoretical knowledge,certain legal knowledge and rich practical skills.The traditional teaching of forensic medicine often neglects the legal education of students,which is in urgent need of reform.Moot court teaching is an advanced practical teaching method.By integrating typical cases in forensic pathology,it simulates all aspects of trial,including the preparation of criminal case materials,role assignment and group discussion,writing legal documents,hearing,summary and evaluation,etc.,which not only fully inspires students'learning initiative,but also completes their understanding of theoretical knowledge in the process of actual combat.The moot court also improves students'legal literacy and makes them more familiar with the judicial procedure,realizing effective transformation from theory to practice,making up for the deficiency of a single teaching mode,and helping cultivate compound forensic talents.In spite of the above advantages,moot court still has limitations in the teaching process of forensic pathology,which requires teachers to change the traditional concept,fully recognize its important value in cultivating students'comprehensive practical ability,transform from"performance"to"practical training",and enable students to obtain immersive experience through real scenes.
