Meet & Greet with Professors of Asian Law

A chance to meet with Georgetown Law Center's professors of Asian Law studies, and to hear more about the courses offered in Asian Law and Policy.

Workshops on Campus

Fundamental to the increased focus on Asian studies has been the Asian Law and Policy Studies program, the forerunner to Law-Asia. The program, sponsored by the Japan Foundation's Center for Global Partnership, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Asia Foundation, and the Korea Foundation was formed to develop Asian legal courses and symposia which foster dialogue on the harmonization of law and policy in the Asia-Pacific region. Forums sponsored by the program have included:

"WTO Compliance in China: The Lessons of Regulatory Effectiveness " - November 2004

A three-day workshop focusing on national and local regulation, with speakers and presentations from Chinese and American regulatory organizations. Topics included "Local Implementation of Social Welfare Regulation," "Alternative Labor Organization and Protection," and "Post-WTO Regulatory Systems in China."

"Tea with the Ambassador" Series 2000-2001

This year-long series invited ambassadors and foreign dignitaries to speak on topics of their choosing. Speakers included Kazuo Kodama, Japan Minister for Public Affairs; Roland Eng, Ambassador of Cambodia; Lee Hong-Koo, Ambassador of Korea; and Stephen Chen, Diplomatic Representative to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO).

"Competition Regulation Within the APEC Region: Commonality and Divergence" - May 1995

The objective of this colloquium was to publish the first survey and analysis of competition, antitrust laws, and policies among APEC economies as a basis for APEC discussions of harmonization or convergence of law and policy in this important area. Participants included top antitrust authorities as well as leading scholars and practitioners from throughout the APEC region.
