EALR is (co-)sponsoring a number of events this week, all related to China (property rights, labor, and the judiciary).  Please continue reading for more information.

The Lunar Year of the Dragon began with great fanfare across Asia with wishes of good fortune and strength.  On the venerable ChinaLaw Listserv, Randy Peerenboom, Professor of Law at La Trobe University Melbourne, launched a new discussion with the prompt:  “It might be interesting to kick off the year of the dragon with the discussion of what we are likely to see in terms of legal reforms this year?  Any suggestions for what the top 10 events or non-events/reforms are likely to be?  I would like to call attention to Keith Hand’s important new piece suggesting a new model of consultative constitutionalism based on grand mediation.”

A big shout-out to our fellow EALR colleagues for successfully hosting the East Asia Law Review annual symposium on February 10, 2012, on the subject of Combating Corruption in Asia! This post is designed to give our blog’s readers some sense of what the discussion between our panel of scholars and practitioners was like—but please also feel free to follow a video of the entire event, available here (a set of photos of the event are available here).

View photos from the Volume 7 Symposium, which was held on February 10, 2012.

Come find out more about East Asia Law Review at the 1L Journal Information Session on Wednesday, March 21.  EALR’s newly selected Editor-in-Chief will present information about the journal, and our board members will be available to answer questions after the presentation.
