在中国和芬兰两国友好关系不断加强的背景下，中芬法律界的交流与合作获得新的更大的推动和发展。2010年9月底至10月初，中国社会科学院法学代表团访问芬兰，既增强了两国法律领域的相互了解和共识，又开启了未来两国法律界相互学习和借鉴的新路径。代表团参加了中芬法治模式研讨会，访问了芬兰国会宪法委员会、最高法院、最高行政法院、最高检察院、司法部、国会监察官办公室、赫尔辛基大学，既介绍了中国法治建设的成就和发展趋势，又学习了荷兰法治模式的特点、宪法改革的新进展、国会宪法委员会的独特性、最高行政法院的特点、最高法院的特色、检察官制度和国会监察官制度的特色，以及芬兰法治建设中人权法地位上升的趋势和轻刑化政策的实践经验。
Against the general background of continuous strengthening of friendly relationship between China and Finland，the exchange and cooperation between the law circles of the two countries has gained new momentum. In late September and early October of 2010，a delegation from the Institute of Law，CASS paid a study visit to Finland，which increased the mutual understanding and consensus between the Chinese and Finnish law circles and opened up new channels for them to learn from each other’s experiences. During the study visit，the delegation participated in the Seminar on the Chinese and Finnish Modes of the Rule of Law and visited various Finnish government and academic institutions，including the Constitutional Law Committee of the Parliament，the Supreme Court，the Office of the Prosecutor General，the Supreme Administrative Court，the Ministry of Justice，the Office of Parliamentary Ombudsman，and the University of Helsinki. Through these activities，the members of the delegation introduced to their Finnish colleagues the achievements made in and the trend of development of the construction of the rule of law in China，and learned a lot from their Finnish colleagues about the characteristics of the Finnish mode of the rule of law，the new development of the constitutional reform，the unique features of the Parliamentary Constitutional Law Committee，the Supreme Court，the Supreme Administrative Court，the Prosecution System，and the Parliamentary Ombudsman system，the increasingly important role of human rights in the construction of the rule of law，and the policy of lenient criminal punishment in Finland.
