"The program provided me with an opportunity not only to learn about Chinese
law, but also about other aspects of Chinese culture. I feel that the
experiences of both the academic course and the internship in Shanghai
directly contributed to my job in Asia next summer."
Joshua Reynolds, Hastings College of Law (2007)
I could not have asked for more from SCU Law School's Shanghai Abroad Program. After four weeks of classroom instruction, and a week to explore, I spent the next four weeks at a boutique Chinese law firm applying the knowledge gained from every single day of instruction. The internships Professor Han secured for us were as valuable as the classroom experience. In addition to spending quality time with my Chinese colleagues, I also got the chance to know other law students from across the States with an interest in China law.

About the Program: An Overview
Santa Clara founded a program in Shanghai in 2006. The primary focus is on doing business in the Peoples Republic of China, and the legal system that would govern such transactions.
Foreign language knowledge is not required, however, internships in Shanghai and Beijing may require some fluency in Mandarin.
The Shanghai program will be held at Jiao Tong University, with distinguished members of that faculty as instructors. About half of the classes will be at the central urban campus, with the other half at the suburban campus. This gives students the opportunity to witness two faces of modern China.
