The China Law Center
The
China Law Center of Yale Law School is a unique institution devoted to
supporting law and policy reform within China and increasing
understanding of China in the United States. The core of the Center’s
work is designing and carrying out sustained, in-depth cooperative
projects between U.S. and Chinese experts on key issues in Chinese law
and policy reform. Our projects focus on areas that are critical to
China’s ongoing reform process, particularly judicial reform, criminal
justice reform, administrative and regulatory reform, and
constitutional law.
Since its start in 1999, the Center has
opened offices at both Yale University and in Beijing, with a small
staff of lawyers and scholars with decades of collective experience
working on law and policy reform issues in China. The Center’s
Director is Professor Paul Gewirtz. Associate Director Jeffrey
Prescott and Senior Fellow Keith Hand manage the Beijing office. A
full list of Center staff, and further information, may be found on our
