In order to develop students' international vision and enrich the teaching content of Comparative Criminal Procedure System, Professor Peng Haiqing invited Professor Ofer Raban, a tenured professor of Law School of the University of Oregon , to participate in the lecture of Comparative Criminal Procedure System on 12 October 2023, with the theme of "Rape in the U.S. Judicial Jurisprudence". Professor Peng Haiqing, the course leader of Comparative Criminal Procedure, hosted the lecture, and Professor Han Yang of Beijing International Studies University accompanied him and gave lectures and comments. More than 10 Chinese graduate students and foreign students from the School of Law who took the course of Comparative Criminal Procedure participated in the study.

His primary research interest is the relationship between constitutional theory and judicial philosophy. He is the author of two books on the philosophy of law and has published several law review articles on constitutional law, criminal law and criminal procedure, and legal theory. He is also a frequent contributor to popular media outlets such as The Oregonian and The Conversation. Professor Laban has lectured widely at home and abroad. He has given a series of lectures in China and Israel. His writings have been translated into Chinese, Polish, Korean, Turkish and Hebrew. He is an advocate of a dynamic approach to judicial development and value judgements, without arbitrarily "labelling" judicial values; furthermore, he is adept at demonstrating the evolution and substantive changes in the procedural regulation of criminal justice and substantive criminal law through a detailed analysis of the language of judicial precedents.

Professor Ofer Raban had previously lectured at our Zhongguancun Campus in 2019, and this was his second visit to our university and the first time he lectured at the Liangxiang Campus. He talked about how the attitude of American courts towards different types of criminal cases has been changing, and have shown different value judgements and judicial handling techniques in different historical periods. For example, the standard of evidence, the admissibility of evidence, and the judge's deductive judgement of evidence in property cases, sexual assault cases, white-collar crimes, and other criminal cases that are more difficult to obtain evidence are all quietly changing. The lecture focused on the crime of rape, showing specific criminal cases, introducing the trial opinions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania courts and making comparative analyses.

The students spoke enthusiastically, asked questions, and engaged in academic exchanges with Professor Ofer Raban. The lecture was a great success and the students expressed that they had benefited a lot from it.
