He set up the “Program B for Master of Laws”at the Soochow University Graduate School of Law in 1991, for graduate students with undergraduate majors other than law. (this program was later renamed the “Graduate Program of Professional Legal Studies”.) This marked the first such program among all universities in Taiwan and was in great demand.

Prof. Li was a true pioneer in legal education in Taiwan and had author several books and many academic papers.

法律專業碩士班(80學年度設立)設立申請緣由

法碩乙組開設於民國七十九年(八十學年度)，係屬民國以來中華法學教育之首創先驅，本系有鑑於法律之學習若不能輔以相當之生活經驗，則教育之過程每流於僵化。故而，在李模教授的發起、倡議與奔走下，經過審慎的規劃、取得學校支持，並克服層層困難，終說服教育部認可，

本系奉教育部核准，自民國八十學年度起創辦學士後法律教育（原名「法律系碩士班乙組」，簡稱「法碩乙」；八十九學年度起改名為「法律專業碩士班」）。

法律專業碩士班比照美國法律教育制度，招收生活經驗較成熟，文理基礎較高，常識較豐富之大專畢業生修習法學基本課程。
