Master of Laws Student Continues CLSP Tradition
06/02/2016
IU McKinney Master of Laws student Awadh Almutairi continued a tradition started in Summer 2015 by Abdulrahman Alwashali, LL.M. ’15. During the Chinese Law Summer Program (CLSP), both men, who are originally from Saudi Arabia, wanted to treat their classmates to a dinner featuring middle-eastern fare.
“Where could American, Norwegian, and South Korean law students have dinner together at an Egyptian restaurant in China and be hosted by a Saudi classmate?” asked CLSP director Professor Tom Wilson. “The CLSP!” In the photo, CLSP classmates toast Almutairi, standing at the head of the table, for sharing the culture of his region.
A total of 30 students are taking part in the CLSP’s 30th year. Participants study Chinese domestic law, take law-related field trips to destinations including the People’s Supreme Court and the National People’s Congress, and embark on cultural field trips to sites such as the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, and Forbidden City. The program is hosted at Renmin University of China Law School, which is ranked as the number one law school in China.
