C. Thesis published in English:

Clinical Legal Education in China and the Issue of Locus Standi in Criminal Defense is published in the United States at Willamette Journal of International Law and Dispute Resolution Vol.25, 2015(12).

Abstract: Locus standi is the status of being qualified for appearance in court. This paper focuses on the practice of permitting legal-clinic students the opportunity to represent clients charged with criminal offenses, and urges the courts in China to grant locus standi to them. Although legal-clinic students in China have contributed considerably to the work of general legal aid since the beginning of this century, they are still prevented from appearing before the courts in the area of criminal legal aid, due to the lack of locus standi. As a result, the development of legal education and the improvement of social justice have been hindered. This paper considers the issue of student representation for criminal defendants and will be presented in four parts. Part one, reviews the development of clinical legal education and the contribution made by legal-clinic students to the work of legal aid in the past ten years. Part two, argues that the failure to implement a system granting legal-clinic students locus standi, negatively impacts social justice as well as legal education. Part three, summarizes the different attempts made by Chinese legal educators to overcome such an obstacle and recommends employing the methods that have proven successful in the United States. Part four, suggests the operation of legislative proposals for making such court rules in China. Finally, this paper urges Chinese courts to grant locus standi under a student-practice model to legal-clinic students as soon as possible (see attached as following).
