STL Hosts Summer Honors Program for Top University Students

On July 28 through August 4, 2018, Peking University School of Transnational Law (“STL”) hosted over 100 students from China’s and World’s most prestigious universities, including Peking University, Fudan University, Wuhan University, Sun Yat-Sen University and Oxford University for Summer Honors Program (“SHP”). SHP at STL is an opportunity for outstanding college students to spend a week in residence experiencing the academic and daily life in China’s most innovative law school setting.

Throughout the 7-day program, students were introduced to STL’s cutting edge English-language J.D. and China law J.M. curriculums. Students experienced actual law school classes taught by STL’s distinguished multinational faculty, participated in case briefing exercises and moot court arguments, met with current STL students and alumni to discuss life at STL and visited Tencent. Students also traveled to Hong Kong for two days, observing proceedings at Hong Kong International Arbitration Center, Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal and Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The People’s Republic of China in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

STL’s SHP program was established in 2009. Many current STL students and alumni participated in SHP before enrolling in STL. For more information about SHP 2019, please contact shp@stl.pku.edu.cn.
