Dignitaries from Hanoi Law University (HLU) traveled to IU McKinney and spent two days visiting the school, the IUPUI campus and the Indiana Statehouse. As part of the visit, representatives from IU McKinney and Hanoi Law signed an agreement to explore a partnership between the two schools.
The Hanoi Law visitors were Dr. Tran Quang Huy, Acting Rector; Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Quang, Head of the International Cooperation Department; Associate Professor Dr. Cao Thi Oahn, Dean of the Criminal Law Faculty; Dr. Doan Thi To Uyen, Vice Dean of the Constitutional and Administrative Law Faculty; Dr. Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, Vice Dean of International Law; Dinh Thi Phuong Hoa, Head of the Department of Foreign Languages; and Trinh Thi Thu Huong, Head of the Department of Training Inspection.
"We were delighted to host this distinguished group from Hanoi Law University at IU McKinney," said Dean Andrew R. Klein. "I am very pleased that our schools will have an opportunity to work together in the future."
At IU McKinney, the visitors were able to meet with several members of the law school's faculty and staff, as well as Master of Laws students who are from Vietnam. In addition to a tour of the law school from Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen, the group toured the Ruth Lilly Law Library, and received a demonstration of one of IU McKinney's interactive classrooms.
At the Indiana Statehouse, the Hanoi Law delegation met with state Senator John Ruckleshaus, and Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Slaughter. Justice Slaughter also gave the group a tour of the Indiana Supreme Court's courtroom. Justice Mark Massa, '89, who teaches Introduction to the American Legal System as an adjunct professor, also met with the Hanoi Law visitors during their stay.
This isn't the first time representatives from Hanoi Law University have visited IU McKinney during the 2019-2020 academic year. Vice Rector Vu Thi Lan Ahn of Hanoi Law spent time at IU McKinney in August 2019. Her son, Vu Phan, is studying the Corporate and Commercial Law track as an LL.M. student at IU McKinney.
