Dean Mitchell made a significant step toward establishing extensive academic cooperation with two prestigious law schools. Peking University Law School and Renmin University of China Law School, widely considered two of the best in China, have signed agreements that provide for faculty and student exchanges, visiting lecturers, expanded law journals, and guest lecturing opportunities for the broader Cleveland community. Students at PKU and Renmin, along with students at our other top partner schools, City University of Hong Kong, Fudan University, East China University of Political Science and Law, and Southwest China University of Political Science and Law, will also have the opportunity to enroll in special degree programs, approved by the CWRU law faculty, through which they can obtain their LL.M. degrees and JD degrees in less time than it would take to earn each separately.

Dean Zhang Shouwen of PKU and Dean Han DaYuan of Renmin expressed their complete support and cooperation in accomplishing these goals in official signing ceremonies held at each law school.

Professor Jon Groetzinger, who created our original China program, was instrumental in helping to negotiate the agreements that have resulted in this historic cooperation.
