In terms of team building, there are two school-level research teams: criminal law interpretation and application, and ASEAN economic and legal system research. Among them, the criminal law interpretation and application group has become the criminal judicial consultation and demonstration center in Yunnan Province, and its opinions have been adopted in the handling of major, important and difficult cases such as "malicious withdrawal case in Xu Ting, Yunnan", bribery case in Hu Xing, series cases in Yunnan Copper Group and major pollution accident case in Yang Zonghai. In addition, the team also participated in the formulation of a series of normative documents, such as the Provisions of Kunming Procuratorate on the Application of Criminal Reconciliation in Handling Criminal Cases (Trial), and achieved good social benefits. The research team of ASEAN's economic and legal system is also the backbone of "GMS Legal Consultation Center", providing legal consultation services for CAFTA and participating in relevant legislative argumentation in provinces and cities. As the first discipline in Yunnan Province to recruit graduate students majoring in environmental and resource protection law, environmental and resource protection law has established a leading academic position in Yunnan Province with outstanding scientific research achievements and pragmatic and rigorous style of study, and has a great influence in the whole country. The team has also trained hundreds of masters of law for the country and made great contributions to legal education and environmental protection in Yunnan Province.
