China Law Blog report that? NYU?s U.S.-Asia Law Institute will be dedicating its annual Gelatt Dialogue on Tuesday, Sept. 7 to celebrate Jerry Cohen?s 80th birthday,? and the impact that his 50 years of study has had on the study of Chinese law.
The blog writes…
A cross-generational event, the evening will feature those who were with Jerry when the field was first born in the early 1960s (Prof. Randle Edwards), those who helped Jerry open law firms in China in the late 1970s, early 1980s (Stephen Orlins, Owen Nee), and those who work with Jerry on his current rule of law projects in China (Daniel Yu, Hyeon-Ju Rho, Alex Wang, Margaret Lewis, Cynthia Estlund).
?Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom: A Roundtable Discussion on China?s Legal System? will analyze China?s progress these past 50 years and look at what the future may potentially hold.? The event is free and open to the public although RSVP is requested.? Details are below or can be found at the US-Asia Law Institute website (http://www.usasialaw.org/?p=3969).? Given the wide experience of the panelists, the event should be interesting and, given that all of the panelists were students of Jerry?s, should be a wonderful homage to his work
