By 2025, the relentless advancement of the digital era has brought revolutionary changes to human society in terms of information dissemination methods and social structures. The unprecedented accessibility and ubiquity of information have significantly impacted college students' legal cognition and behavioral habits. The resulting lack of legal awareness and the growing number of legal issues in cyberspace urgently call for enhanced implementation of legal education for university students. This paper focuses on enhancing legal literacy among university students. Against the backdrop of the digital era, it examines the necessity and improvement pathways for implementing legal education in higher education institutions, starting from its impact on students. It proposes practical enhancement methods across multiple dimensions: optimizing curriculum design, enriching practical activities, fostering a campus culture of rule of law, and strengthening collaborative education among families, schools, and society. The aim is to cultivate high-caliber talents with sound legal literacy for society and to promote the development of a society governed by the rule of law.
