Chinese Law Taught in English (CLTE) will expose international students to the historical background, transitional nature and developmental trajectory of Chinese law. Courses aim to provide students with concrete knowledge of Chinese law as well as with a comparative approach to legal studies.

CLTE will offer courses on: Introduction to Contemporary Chinese Law, Chinese Law and Society, Chinese Legal History, Chinese Labour Law, Chinese Business Law, and Chinese Criminal Justice. New courses on Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, Intellectual Property Law, and Property Law have been added for 2012.

Please see Curriculum for more details.

Twenty-one students from eight countries took part in the first CLTE programme. Students visited a law firm, a prison, attended both a civil and a criminal trial, and Baidu as part of the course.

CESL has already completed preparations for the 2013-14 Master of Chinese Law in English. The number of Chinese law courses taught in English has been increased to 16. Each course will be worth one or two credits, and each credit requires 18 class hours. A total of 30 credits are required. The syllabus will teach Chinese law in a systematic way. It will mainly focus on Chinese law, and will look at the legal problems which arise in the practise of law and actual cases, as well as how disputes are settled via the justice system. The programme will last two years and upon successful completion, CUPL’s Master’s of Chinese Law (LL.M.) will be awarded.
