The U.S.-Asia Law Institute is proud to announce our 2024-2025 Visiting Scholar cohort. They focus on a wide range of topics, including comparative law projects examining the respective approaches of the US and Japan with respect to regulating labor compliance in corporate supply chains, handling complex corporate cases in their respective courts, and promoting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments. Others are looking at the World Trade Organization as a forum for resolving trade disputes between China and Taiwan, the evaluation of judges in South Korea and the US, legal protections for undocumented migrant children, China’s project of developing an “independent legal knowledge system” with Chinese values, and freedom of speech in the workplace.
