Date:2011-03-21     Read:877    

KoGuan Law has recently entered into an educational cooperation agreement with University of New Hampshire School of Law at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China. The agreement provides for student exchanges, as well as the sharing of academic and research related activities. The two institutions will also explore the possibility of creating a dual-degree program through which students can earn degrees in Chinese law and Intellectual Property law. 

Through this agreement, students from each institution can enroll in the other institution for one academic semester of courses, which will be conducted in English in both Shanghai and Concord. Upon completion, course credits will be transferred back to the student's home institution. 

The University of New Hampshire School of Law is known for its internationally renowned intellectual property program, now housed in the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property, which boasts one of the largest full-time faculties in the field, a broad range of curricular offerings, and the only academic intellectual property library in the US. Through its Social Justice Institute, wide range of clinics, externships and unique Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program, UNH School of Law is a pioneer in practice-based education. It is affiliated with the University of New Hampshire, a land, sea, and space-grant university enrolling more than 12,200 undergraduate and 2,200 graduate students.

The educational cooperation agreement will have an initial term of three years, expiring on September 1, 2013. To facilitate educational and research exchanges between the institutions, activities such as faculty exchanges, visiting scholar programs, joint conferences and symposia, and joint research projects will be created and supported. In addition, the schools will explore the possibility of offering dual degree programs that would allow UNH Law JD students to earn an LLM in Chinese law at KoGuan and offer KoGuan students the chance to earn an LLM from UNH Law's Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property.

UNH School of Law, and its Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property, has a long history of engagement in China, including the China Intellectual Property Summer Institute (CHIPSI) offered every summer in Beijing and Shanghai, which brings together students from around the world to learn about intellectual property and the Chinese legal system.
