On January 21, 2011, KoGuan Law School entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on student and faculty exchange with University of California- Hastings College of the Law. The MOU 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. 

 
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 San Francisco. Upon completion, course credits will be transferred back to the student's home institution. The educational cooperation agreement will have an initial term of three years, expiring on January, 2014
 
Located amidst the District Courthouse, San Francisco City Hall, the California State Supreme Courthouse and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the UC Hastings Law School puts its students at nearly all levels of state and federal government. Founded in 1878, Hastings is not only the oldest public law school in the western United States, but is also the third largest public law school in America, with 1,250 enrolled students and 400 degrees granted each year. Hastings is a part of the University of California system and was actually its first established law department; however, it does not have an undergraduate counterpart as do all other law schools under the UC system. The school was named after the first Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, Serranus Clinton Hastings.
 
Hastings has many strong academic specialties. Students often find that they are strongly supported in pursuit of careers in public interest law, as clinical programs are offered in that area and there is a large amount of faculty and students who are interested in that type of law as well. In addition to public interest law, Hastings has outstanding concentrations in family law, international law, taxation and civil litigation.
