Professor Fang Quan, Dean of the Faculty, warmly welcomed the 586 freshmen and encouraged them to become interdisciplinary legal talents resonating with the times. In the face of the dual waves of globalization and artificial intelligence, she emphasized the importance for legal professionals to master knowledge across legal domains and international rules while upholding humanistic care and the belief in the rule of law. She used the metaphor "Seeing the Moon through the Finger" to illustrate that artificial intelligence is merely an auxiliary tool, urging students to become designers and guardians of legal civilization, showcasing the unique value of legal professionals in the technological revolution.

Assistant Professor Chen Qin, representing the faculty, inspired the new students with three key phrases: "International Perspective, Sincerity in Exploration, and Integration of Knowledge and Action." She highlighted the need for legal professionals to balance legal theory with human compassion through the example of the Macau stun baton case and pointed out Macau's unique advantages as a convergence point of Eastern and Western legal systems. She expressed hopes that the new students would, on the occasion of the Faculty's 25th anniversary, become professional and compassionate legal talents through reason and kindness.
