On September 16, we held the first session of a New School-sponsored seminar “Law, Justice, and Human Rights in China,” co-taught with Teng Biao, a famous but exiled Chinese law professor, lawyer, law reformer and human rights activist, and moderated by Katherine Wilhelm, executive director of the U.S.-Asia Law Institute at NYU Law School. The seminar introduces the legal system of the PRC with a focus on constitutional law, legal institutions, criminal justice, and human rights. The first session covered pre-Communist legal history in China, and the recording can be heard here. The seminar will take place every Wednesday from 2pm-4pm EST through November 18, 2020.
