In the Fall 2010, The University of San Francisco School of Law is again offering Tom’s two unit course on Asian Legal Systems to second and third year students and MBA candidates. The course focuses on China and compares its legal system with the legal system of the United States and with the legal systems of surrounding Asian countries, including various means of dispute resolution and the nature of competition law and intellectual property law. Tom also discusses the impact of religions and culture on the legal systems of Asia.
Auditors are welcome.
