Sessions Description

  • Legal education in the United States is being hit with geopolitical challenges on many fronts: military conflicts around the globe, trade and tariffs disruption, domestic immigration restrictions and removals, an AI arms race, and rising authoritarianism, among others. U.S.-China relations and the broader East Asian region are a key part of these dynamics. This panel will explore how we are seeing these external challenges play out within our institutions and what we in legal academia can do to chart a positive path forward.
