In its third decade, the first CLSP was held in 1987 in Shanghai. In 1998, the CLSP moved to its current home at RUC in Beijing. The program offers students either two or five credits, over the course of two or four weeks of study in China. CLSP students are given an overview of the Chinese legal system and the evolution of Chinese domestic law within the country's socialist market economy. The CLSP is hosted by Renmin, a longtime friend of IU McKinney.
