Practical relevance

It is hard to ignore China’s rapid ascendency in global trade, innovation, and geopolitics. There are few countries in the world where China does not appear daily in the national news, and nearly every nation has seen its relations and business with China increase in recent history. And yet, while Chinese lawyers are rounding out their legal resumes by studying around the world, international lawyers and law students are just beginning to realize the true value of studying in China. There has never been a more relevant time to study law in China, and there is no better place than at the oldest and most prestigious university in the country, especially for a lawyer looking to the future.
