TIANJIN, CHINA
July 6 - August 2, 2009
Summer Institute in International and Comparative Law
The globalization of law practice and business is among the most significant developments of the last decade. Already a major economic force, China's participation in leading financial organizations such as the World Trade Organization has its beginnings in the Chinese legal system and will ultimately affect that system. In this four-week, four-credit hour program, students will learn about the current legal system in China and the changes that are likely to occur because of the international business sector. This program will take place at Nankai University School of Law, a respected law school in China. Nankai University is located in Tianjin, China's third largest city. Tianjin is an important commercial center and is located approximately 125 miles from Beijing, the capital. |
