thechamp Posted March 19, 2012 at 12:36 AM Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 at 12:36 AM I just checked what this was out of curiosity, even though I definitely won't be in Shanghai over Summer....mate, it's extremely expensive for a 2 week course in China! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiasen Posted March 19, 2012 at 12:52 AM Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 at 12:52 AM In my opinion, there are better methods out there for studying Chinese law. It might look good on your resume though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted March 19, 2012 at 03:29 AM Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 at 03:29 AM Just read this speech by Leo KoGuan. He does seem to be a bit eccentric. I don't think he himself is doing the teaching, though. He is a donor to the school. http://www.pkuef.org...tail.php?id=863 In Search of Riches Beyond Belief By Leo KoGuan 31st May 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl234 Posted March 19, 2012 at 12:22 PM Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 at 12:22 PM Thanks All. I agree it is a bit expensive. Although the cost decreases when the employer pays. I also agree that there are better ways but this seems to be a good introduction. I've only identified one other two week course and that is 50% higher. All in all, I've found it a reasonable compromise as I am already an attorney working in the international space. Sorry for all the questions. They do offer room and breakfast but I am not sure of the accomodations so will have to find a back up plan near the University. They are in XuHui district. I usually stay in Pudong or Jing An temple area. With all of the construction, it is sometimes hard to define walking distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all of your help. Chinese law is interesting. You know you can write the CHinese bar exam as a foreigner now. I saw your other posts about asia practice. Have you looked at singapore? apparently still a hot market from what I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechamp Posted March 19, 2012 at 11:07 PM Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 at 11:07 PM Sorry I was just being facetious quoting from the speech mentioned earlier. Yeah Singapore looks pretty interesting. I was there for 4 hours changing flights once. It is very hot yes! No I'm not a lawyer. Are you some kind of marketing person for this event!?

sl234 Posted March 19, 2012 at 11:54 PM Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 at 11:54 PM Sorry. not a marketing person. I was just curious since there may be a correlation between folks who are interested in chinese law and chinese language. I will probably never be good at either but my chopsticks skills have improved dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted June 7, 2012 at 10:18 AM Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 at 10:18 AM Sl234, were you on the course? Any feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl234 Posted July 13, 2013 at 07:19 PM Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 at 07:19 PM sorry for the delay. Yes, I took at the course. 1) Most of the students appeared to be American Born chinese studying in the states 2) Classes were excellent 4 hours/day for me no tests 3) Professors were a mix of academics and practicing attorneys for me it was definitely worth it. my class was small, the professors were very friendly ( I was older than the other students) I also did not stay on campus ( which I was told was a smart decision) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
