In recent years, there is a rising demand for civil engineering-law compound talents in building industry. A series of teaching reforming measures have been taken to meet this demand in Tongji University, and starting a new course named construction law is an important practice. The paper compares the construction law course in Tongji University with the course in four world top universities from the aspects of curriculum setting, curriculum requirements, curriculum contents, teaching and assessments, so as to propose a teaching reformation scheme for Tongji University.
