OYCF Receives Grants from USCLCF to Co-Sponsor Teaching Trips with Financial Law Institute of Beijing University

Overseas Young Chinese Forum (OYCF)

January 2003

In December 2002, the U.S-China Legal Cooperation Fund (the "USCLCF") granted the Overseas Young Chinese Forum (the "OYCF") and the Financial Law Institute of Beijing University (the "FLIBU") $10,000 for a joint teaching program in securities law and corporate law. This is the second grant OYCF received from the USCLCF. In June 2002, with the support of USCLCF and the East Asia Legal Studies program at Harvard Law School, OYCF successfully completed a two-year joint teaching program with the China Civil and Commercial Law Research Center at the Law School of Renmin University of China.

Under the new joint teaching program with FLIBU, OYCF will sponsor four teaching trips in years 2003 and 2004 to Beijing University Law School. During each trip, one or two attorneys from OYCF will teach a three-week intensive course on American corporate and/or securities laws. The tentative OYCF participants in the teaching program include Bo Li, Junling Ma, Weiheng Chen and Guohua Wu, all practicing attorneys in the United States. The FLIBU participants in this project include Professors Wu Zhipan and Liu Yan and Dr. Peng Bing. Advisors of the joint project include Professors William Alford and Howell Jackson, both of Harvard Law School, Mr. Richard Drucker of Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York and Mr. John Mead of Sullivan & Cromwell in New York.

Sponsoring teaching trips to China has been one of OYCF ' s major activities. OYCF started its teaching program in 2000 with funding from the East Asian Legal Studies program at Harvard Law School and the USCLCF, and has sponsored four teaching trips to Renming University covering American corporate and securities laws (please visit http://www.oycf.org/Teach/RenDa.htm for more details). In 2002, with support from the Ford Foundation and several other private donors, OYCF has expanded its teaching program to cover other fields of law as well as various fields of humanities, social sciences and education, and awa rded nine (9) teaching fellowships for year 2002-2003 (please visit http://www.oycf.org/Teach/fellowship.htm for more details).
