Program Overview

Program Description:

Students who want to study the Chinese legal system, as well as business and foreign trade in and with China, may do so at either of two similar, but distinct courses: Hong Kong, SAR; or, Shanghai, PRC. After completing coursework in Shanghai, students have the option of doing an externship in Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong. Mandarin is required for externships in Shanghai and Beijing but is not necessary for externships in Hong Kong.

Site visits to law firms and international companies and social events will be scheduled during the afternoons of the program.

The primary focus of the Shanghai program is doing business in the People’s Republic of China, and the legal system that would govern such transactions. Classes are held at Jiao Tong University. The course covers essential laws and regulations that govern trade and investment with China, one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
