UC Irvine teams up with law schools in Korea
July 20, 2009
The University of California, Irvine School of Law has established a
Korea Law Center to focus on issues involving U.S. and Korean law.
"We've discovered that there's a real opportunity for a close relationship between American law schools and Korea," said Erwin Chemerinsky, founding dean of the law school and one of five board directors operating the center. "There's a basis for a close relationship to an American law school and Korean law schools and the Korean legal community."
The center, created in partnership with law schools at Seoul National University and Sogang University in Seoul, will offer legal education, certifications, mediation, expert witnesses, consulting, research and public policy studies, as well as a clinical program that primarily will provide legal advice to Koreans who want to do business in Orange County, Calif., where Irvine is located.
