NYU To Celebrate Prof. Jerome A. Cohen, Founder of the China Law Field – Sept 7 – NYC
If you are in New York early next month, please come out for this NYU Law event in honor of Professor Jerry Cohen’s 80th birthday. My wife (who heads the ABA’s China Program) and I feel privileged to be on a panel with some of the pioneers in the China law field. For those with a particular interest in environmental law, note that Professor Benjamin van Rooij, who has written one of the best books out there on China’s environmental governance, will be a co-moderator for the panel. Elizabeth Lynch, author of the excellent China Law & Policy blog, has written a description of the event (copied below):

To celebrate Jerry Cohen’s 80th birthday, NYU’s U.S.-Asia Law Institute will be dedicating its annual Gelatt Dialogue on Tuesday, Sept. 7 to Jerry and the impact that his 50 years of study has had on the study of Chinese law.
A cross-generational event, the evening will feature those who were with Jerry when the field was first born in the early 1960s (Prof. Randle Edwards), those who helped Jerry open law firms in China in the late 1970s, early 1980s (Stephen Orlins, Owen Nee), and those who work with Jerry on his current rule of law projects in China (Daniel Yu, Hyeon-Ju Rho, Alex Wang, Margaret Lewis, Cynthia Estlund).
“Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom: A Roundtable Discussion on China’s Legal System” will analyze China’s progress these past 50 years and look at what the future may potentially hold. The event is free and open to the public although RSVP is requested. Details are below or can be found at the US-Asia Law Institute website (http://www.usasialaw.org/?p=3969). Given the wide experience of the panelists, the event should be interesting and, given that all of the panelists were students of Jerry’s, should be a wonderful homage to his work
