OYCF Teaching Program in Renmin University (Ren Da)

On December 1, 2000, the U.S-China Legal Cooperation Fund awarded a grant to Overseas Young Chinese Forum and the China Civil and Commercial Law Research Center at the Law School of Renmin University of China for a joint teaching and research project in securities law and corporation law that will last for two years. Before this grant, the East Asian Legal Studies program at Harvard Law School also awarded a grant to the joint project.

Under the joint project, the OYCF will cooperate with the CCCLRC to conduct research on the civil liabilities of securities transactions and the protection of small investors under American securities laws. In addition, the OYCF participants in this project will make several trips to Renmin University of China Law School to teach and research securities and corporate laws during the term of the project. The cooperation with the CCCLRC, with the financial support from the USCLCF and EALS, is another effort of OYCF to contribute to China's reform and opening process.

This project was initiated by OYCF members Dr. Bo Li, Mr. Jie Shen and Ms. Tingting Shi, all practicing attorneys in New York. The following is the schedule of teaching and research trips by OYCF participants in this project:

The CCCLRC participants in this project include Professors Wang Liming and Dong Ansheng, and Doctoral candidate Cheng Xiao. Professor Wang is Vice Dean of Renmin University of China Law School and the Director of CCCLRC.

Advisors of the joint project include Professors William Alford and Howell Jackson, both of Harvard Law School, and Mr. Richard Drucker of Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York.
