The Summer Study of Law in Beijing, China Program offered by the Duquesne University School of Law is considered to be one of the best of its kind offered in the United States. This popular program provides law students from all over the world the unique opportunity to discover and learn about the legal system in the country of China. Students who are enrolled in this program will travel to the city of Beijing, China to take legal course-work that will enhance their understanding of Chinese law.

Today, Chinese law itself is evolving, as one of the world's oldest and most insular cultures opens to the world. Nowhere are these changes more evident than in Beijing, the center of Chinese government. With China playing an increasing role in global commerce and politics, an understanding of its legal system and cultural roots is vital.
