The 2011 China Study Abroad Program
May 22, 2011– June 10, 2011
Thomas Jefferson School of Law, in cooperation with one of the most prestigious universities in China, Zhejiang University, presents a three-week International and Comparative Law Study Abroad Program in Hangzhou, China, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Classes are held mornings only Monday through Friday in the Zhejiang University Guanghua College of Law. This is the fifth year of this exceptional program located in one of the most beautiful cities in China and near the famous West Lake. Zhejiang University Guanghua College of Law offers an ideal environment for learning international and comparative law. The China Program is designed to encourage students to experience international law in an international setting, to exchange ideas with students from a different land, and to explore cultural differences that influence international business and legal transactions. Students in this program are drawn from law schools across the United States and the world. Chinese students fluent in English and currently studying law at the Zhejiang University Guanghua College of Law will actively participate in the program. Three Chinese professors will be teaching a course on the Chinese Legal System and Its Reforms. In 2010, 78 students attended the China Program, including 62 American students and 16 Asians from the Hangzhou Law School. The participation of students from the Zhejiang University Guanghua College of Law in each of the five courses offered is an important feature of this program.
China Program activities include a Welcoming Reception for students and faculty, an Orientation, a day in the Chinese Supreme Court in Beijing with discussions about the differences between Chinese and U.S. court procedures, attendance at The 2011 International Conference on
Chinese Rule of Law (download conference program), a brownbag lecture series featuring law professors, judges, practitioners and experts in international law, optional weekend trips to other cities in China including Beijing, optional half-day trips to neighboring scenic sites, and other events.
Thomas Jefferson School of Law is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA).
