About the event
Please join the NYU U.S.-Asia Law Institute as it celebrates its founder and director emeritus, Professor Jerome A. Cohen, and his unique contributions to U.S.-Asia mutual understanding and cooperation in the field of law.
This year has marked Jerry Cohen’s 90th birthday and his official retirement from teaching at NYU – although not his retirement from writing, speaking, advocacy, and devotion to the U.S.-Asia Law Institute.
In his honor, we are holding an online forum to discuss the Asian-related topics most dear to his heart: public international law, rule of law, human rights, and criminal justice. Multiple generations of students, colleagues, and friends will join him in conversation.
We also will update friends of USALI about the Institute’s ongoing work and plans for the future. We look forward to seeing you on October 6!
