The Law School (Intellectual Property School) of China Jiliang University is situated in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, renowned for its historical and cultural significance, vibrant innovation, and ecological civilization. The Law School itself was inaugurated in April 2002, followed by the Intellectual Property School in December 2009. Both schools share a collaborative office space, fostering an environment of integrated academic endeavors. Adhering to the motto "Cultivate Virtue and Respect for Law, Harmonize Morality and Law, Nurture Learning and Personal Growth, Unify Knowledge and Action," the school has, over more than two decades, developed a multi-tiered educational framework encompassing undergraduate programs, master's programs, top-up degree programs, and second bachelor's degree programs.

Currently, the school boasts a total enrollment of 1,499 full-time students, including more than 216 postgraduates. There are 67 full-time faculty members, consisting of 9 professors and 21 associate professors, 54 of whom hold doctoral degrees. The school is also the home to over ten high-level talents. These include recipients of the "Top Hundred Talents" under the National Intellectual Property Millions of Talents Training Project, leading talents in humanities and social sciences under Zhejiang’s "Ten Thousand Talents Plan," young and middle-aged legal experts with significant contributions in Zhejiang, second-tier talents from Zhejiang's "New Century 151 Talent Project," elite talents from the leadership talent training programs of universities in Zhejiang, and prominent young and middle-aged academic leaders from Zhejiang higher education institutions. Prominent among these is the unique "Zhijiang Young Social Science Scholars" intellectual property research team, the only one of its kind in Zhejiang's higher education institutions. The school also engages a robust network of over 100 visiting and adjunct professors, as well as external mentors.

Academically, the school is authorized to confer master's degrees in Law as a first-level discipline and professional master's degrees in Law.

Additionally, one of its projects has been included in the National Philosophy and Social Sciences Achievement Library. Think tank reports authored by faculty members have received two affirmations from national leaders, five from deputy national leaders, and fourteen from provincial and ministerial leaders. Faculty members have also played principal roles in the revision of laws such as the "Metrology Law of the People's Republic of China " and the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Standardization Law," as well as in providing legislative consultations for the "Food Safety Law," "Standardization Law," and "Product Quality Law."

In terms of educational outcomes, the school has a commendable track record, having trained more than 5,000 undergraduates and 400 postgraduate students, significantly contributing to the fields of Law and Intellectual Property.
