19th session of national congress of the communist party of China and safeguard the authority of the Constitution”.
今年宪法日的主题是“学习贯彻党的十九大精神，维护宪法权威”。
The Report of the 19th session of national congress of CPC mentioned the great functions of the Constitution and highlighted the importance of the Constitution of the CPC. The Constitution is primary national law, it lists the people’s fundamental rights, and it is also the core of the legal system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. As China lawyers, we will follow the spirit of the 19th session of national congress of CPC, not only notice the importance of the Constitution in theory, but also address the application of Constitution in practice. We will trace the direction of reform on the implementation of the Constitution and support the government in promoting the review of constitutionality, and eventually achieve the great success of the rule of law in China.
党的“十九大报告”中指出了宪法的重大作用并强调了宪法对中国共产党的重要性。宪法是国家的根本法，列明了公民享有的基本权利，同时也是中国特色社会主义法律体系的核心。作为中国律师，我们会追随党的“十九大精神”，不仅在理论层面明确宪法的重要性，还要在实践层面维护宪法的实施。我们会紧跟宪法实施工作改革的方向，支持政府推进合宪性审查，并为最终成功实现中国的依法治国大业提供助力。
