WORDS FROM ALUMNI
Participant of the 2014 Chinese Law Program Winter School
From Southeast Asia
“We learned a lot from the Program. It was so amazing
that it was possible to learn that much about Chinese
legal system in that week-long classes. The opportunity
to interact with students of law and political science
from different jurisdictions was also remarkable.”
Participant of the 2014 Chinese Law Program Summer School
From the United States
“The study abroad legal program offered through East China University of
Political Science and Law is an excellent opportunity
for any law student who is looking to broaden their
horizons legally, professionally and even personally.
The professors are excellent, the curriculum on point
and the cultural awareness that a student can gain
through four intense weeks of living and studying in
Shanghai is invaluable. It is a must for any law student considering a career in
international law. … It is one of the greatest experiences of my legal career and
my life and I am confident that it will serve my legal career in the future.”
Participant of the 2014 Chinese Law Program Spring School
From Australia
“The topic was well structured and provided a good
overview of the Chinese legal system, with a good
balance between the learning component and the
social element to the trip. I would recommend it to
other
students
who
may
consider
doing
the
programme if it is offered in the future as it was both
great learning experience and cultural experience.”
