Program in Asian Law

Building on its more than 40-year association with East Asia, its continuing commitment to training excellent lawyers from the region, and its growing research connections with Asian universities, the College of Law established the Asian Law, Politics and Society Program in 2003. The program's mission is to promote comparative scholarship and teaching on legal and social change in East Asia.

The Program has hosted distinguished speakers and visitors, conducted symposia, offered courses, initiated exchange programs, and supported scholarly research.
