In response to Vietnam Law Day (November 9), on the evening of November 6, 2026, the Dong Thap University Chapter of the Vietnam Lawyers' Association, in collaboration with the Faculty of Economics and Law, organized a seminar entitled “Understanding the Law – Embracing the Legal Profession” at Lecture Hall 1. The event aimed to enhance legal awareness, provide students with opportunities to gain insights into professional legal practice, and support their career orientation and development.
The seminar was attended by representatives of the leadership of the Faculty of Economics and Law, the Dong Thap University Chapter of the Vietnam Lawyers' Association, lecturers, and students. Notably, the event featured distinguished guest speakers, including Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Trinh, Deputy Chief Procurator of the People's Procuracy of Region 6, Dong Thap Province; Lawyer Thai Quang Tri, President of the Dong Thap Provincial Bar Association; and Lawyer Mai Tuyen, Director of Tuyen Thuy & Associates Single-Member Limited Liability Law Firm.
Under the theme “Understanding the Law – Embracing the Legal Profession,” discussions focused on essential aspects of the legal profession, ranging from professional knowledge and legal problem-solving skills to professional ethics, integrity, and resilience. Through perspectives drawn from prosecutorial work and legal practice, students gained a deeper understanding of the distinctive characteristics of the legal field, the importance of applying specialized knowledge, and the need to uphold ethical standards in professional practice.
During the interactive session, students engaged directly with the guest speakers, discussing their professional experiences, challenges encountered in legal practice, employment opportunities, and the competencies required of legal professionals. These exchanges helped students better understand the relationship between academic knowledge and the ability to address real-world legal issues, encouraging them to proactively set learning goals, develop essential skills, and prepare for their future careers.
In connection with Vietnam Law Day on November 9, the seminar also incorporated activities promoting awareness of the role of the Constitution and the law in society, alongside a performance entitled “Sowing the Seeds of Legal Knowledge – Stepping Confidently into the Future” and a welcoming activity for Cohort 26 freshmen majoring in Law. These activities contributed to strengthening students' respect for the rule of law, deepening their appreciation of the legal profession, and fostering a serious and responsible attitude toward learning and personal development.
The “Understanding the Law – Embracing the Legal Profession” seminar helped connect legal education with career orientation while strengthening cooperation between Dong Thap University and judicial agencies and legal practice organizations. The practical insights shared during the event provide a valuable foundation for further professional exchanges, expanded opportunities for hands-on experience, and the gradual integration of real-world professional requirements into legal education and training.
