Welcome to the web site of the University of Michigan Asia Law Society. Since its founding in 2005 as the UM China Law Society, the ALS has kept as its core mission the exchange of legal knowledge across vast boundaries, and a bridging of academic and legal knowledge to gain a unique perspective on the region. This site is a reflection of the activities sponsored by ALS, containing useful information on upcoming and past events. We hope you find the content useful, and we thank you for visiting.


 
Initial GBM: Our first general body meeting of the 2008-2009 academic year will take place on Tuesday, September 16 at 12:20pm in room 150 of Hutchins Hall. Please plan on attending to learn about our exciting upcomeing year, and how you can get involved!
Asia Law Society is proud to announce that we were one of only two organizations to receive symposium funding from the Curricular, Co-Curricular and Pedagogic Issues Committee at the U of M Law School. Our symposium, scheduled for March 21st, 2009, will focus on capital markets in Asia, in particular those in China, Japan, South Korea, and India. Last year's symposium on Rule of Law in China was described as "significantly more professional, focused, and meaningful in content than many events organized by full-time academics or government institutions" by attendees. This year we are on track to meet or exceed last year's achievement.
