Cornell Law Expands East Asian Ties via NTU

Cornell Law School has jointly launched a new student exchange partnership with National Taiwan University’s College of Law, widely recognized as Taiwan’s leading law school. This builds on Cornell Law’s long-standing program with Waseda University’s School of Law in Japan, creating a trio of academic partnerships—true sister schools across East Asia and the United States.

To mark this milestone, the inaugural Waseda–National Taiwan University–Cornell Interdisciplinary Workshop took place at Waseda University in Tokyo on July 30–31, followed by the first-ever National Taiwan University–Waseda–Cornell Workshop in Taipei on August 4. The events gathered Deans, Vice-Deans, and faculty from all three institutions to present research, exchange perspectives, and deepen institutional collaboration.

Cornell Law was represented by Professors Valerie Hans, Dan Awrey, and Yun-chien Chang, each of whom presented working papers and engaged in discussions with Taiwanese and Japanese scholars. The workshops were co-sponsored by the Clarke Program in East Asian Law and Culture, and generously supported by the Tokyo-based law firm, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, an alumni affiliate and friend of Cornell Law School.
