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.
