Experiential Education In China
A Project of USAID and the American People in Partnership with American and Chinese Law Schools.
China has embarked on an ambitious program to rebuild its legal system. It has adopted new laws addressing a wide range of modern issues. If the rule of law is to take hold in China, an essential next step is the development of more experiential learning to facilitate the practical application of such newly adopted legal provisions.
Our Mission
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) project is assisting China in the creation of skills-based legal education programs that focus on the application of law in practice.
A partnership of American and Chinese law schools is working to enhance the capacity of Chinese law schools to provide training in experiential legal education.
