  Over the past 2024, the public interest co-operation between the Shamao Residents' Committee of Xinhong Street in Minhang District and Shanghai Shao Yu Law Firm has achieved remarkable results. This innovative public service cooperation model effectively solves the information asymmetry and service lag between traditional legal service institutions and grassroots community needs. Through the combination of digital legal service platform and offline services, to achieve the precise docking of legal services and residents' needs. Adhering to the concept of ‘building, sharing and winning together’, Shao Yu Law Firm not only extends professional legal services to the ‘last kilometre’ of grass-roots governance, but also establishes a sustainable grass-roots legal service ecosystem through the establishment of a mechanism for the cultivation of ‘people who understand the law’.

Every consultation day, the community legal service station is always crowded with residents with property inheritance, marriage and family affairs, labour rights and other legal issues to consult. This series of initiatives not only achieved the goal of ‘zero distance legal services’, but also effectively prevented and resolved grass-roots conflicts and disputes, providing a strong rule of law to build a harmonious community.

This ‘zero distance, heart to heart’ mode of legal services, not only enhance the residents' legal awareness and rights protection ability, but also effectively prevent the intensification of conflicts and disputes, to achieve a win-win situation of professional value and social benefits for the grass-roots rule of law construction set a benchmark.

As the first batch of ‘good community partners’ in Xinhong Street, Shaoyu Law Firm's pragmatic action will strongly promote the creation of ‘rule of law demonstration community’ in Minhang District, contributing to the modernisation of grass-roots governance, and striving to create a replicable and scalable community rule of law construction prototype.
