The Institute on Chinese Law and Business at St. Mary’s University School of Law is a program of legal studies that prepares law students for the challenges of representing clients doing business with Chinese business partners. Through an array of business-related courses, field trips, and guest speakers, the Institute introduces students to the Chinese legal system and the instruments of international and domestic law governing cross-border sales of goods, protection of intellectual property and investments.

Participants learn about the practical realities of doing business in China, as well as the dispute resolution mechanisms that play a large role in enforcing private agreements between enterprises in China and the United States.
