On December 16, 2025, ULIS organized the Final Round of the 1st “ULISers understand the law” Competition at Vu Dinh Lien Hall. The competition aimed to provide a meaningful platform to enhance legal awareness and promote law-abiding attitudes among ULIS students.

The event was attended by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ha Le Kim Anh, Vice President of ULIS–VNU; members of the judging panel; representatives of various university offices; along with 10 outstanding teams from different faculties and a large number of students who came to support and cheer for the competition.

In her opening remarks, Vice President Ha Le Kim Anh emphasized the practical significance of the competition in bringing legal knowledge closer to students. She also expressed her appreciation to the Organizing Committee for creating a meaningful academic and practical platform that not only complements classroom learning but also equips students with essential legal knowledge, especially in the context of newly issued regulations. She encouraged students to take initiative in learning, actively explore legal issues, and strengthen their awareness of legal compliance.

The competition consisted of two main rounds: “Golden Bell Challenge” and Debate, offering diverse and engaging challenges that tested legal knowledge while fostering critical thinking and teamwork skills.

In the first round, the Golden Bell Challenge, the 10 teams were divided into two groups and competed by answering 10 questions prepared by the Organizing Committee. With only 10 seconds for each question, teams discussed quickly and presented their answers using name boards, demonstrating solid legal knowledge, quick thinking, and effective collaboration among team members.

In the second round, the Debate, the competition became even more intense and dynamic. The 10 teams were paired into five debating matches, during which they argued and defended their viewpoints on legal topics assigned by the Organizing Committee. Debate topics and positions (Agree or Disagree) were determined randomly through a drawing process. Each match included two alternating debate turns, with a maximum of 90 seconds per turn, requiring teams not only to possess strong legal knowledge but also to demonstrate sharp critical thinking, logical reasoning, and persuasive presentation skills.

While awaiting the final results, the Organizing Committee arranged a short interactive game to test students’ legal knowledge, contributing to a lively atmosphere and increased interaction in the auditorium.

At the conclusion of the competition, awards were presented to the participating class teams in recognition of their efforts, learning spirit, and accumulation of legal knowledge, while also encouraging students to take greater initiative in studying, understanding, and complying with the law.

Overall, the competition left a strong positive impression and contributed to spreading the spirit of respect for the rule of law within the ULIS student community.
