*We will send the Zoom information the day before 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.
