  • Crossing Borders: Creating an American Law Clinic in China
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYC\19-1\NYC108.txt unknown Seq: 1 23-OCT-12 13:50 CROSSING BORDERS: CREATING AN AMERICAN LAW CLINIC IN CHINA CECILY E. BASKIR* In the last twelve years, over eighty Chinese law schools have incorporated clinical legal education into their course offerings. Of these, the Center for Cross-Border Advocacy at the Peking University School of Transnational Law was the first live-client clinical legal ed- ucation program to provide transnational – not domestic – legal rep- resentation. Under the supervision of an American clinical law professor licensed to practice law in the United States, Chinese law students in the Center represented immigrants in the United States at the administrative appeals stage of their deportation proceedings. In the complementary seminar, the students studied U.S. immigration law and appellate procedure, practiced advanced legal writing and oral advocacy, and explored issues of professional responsibility and cross-cultural lawyering. This article examines the creation of the Center for Cross-Border Advocacy and how the Center fit into the Chinese context of clinical legal education. It analyzes the Center’s unique benefits for Chinese students, including providing direct expo- sure to different norms of legal practice, an opportunity to develop stronger cross-cultural lawyering skills, and a relatively safe environ- ment for engaging in critical thinking about rule of law. The article explores in particular how representing non-Chinese immigrants in U.S. tribunals created a three-dimensional cultural exchange in the clinic while minimizing potential political backlash. It cautions, how- ever, that cross-border clinics risk creating an appearance of legal im- perialism and having only a limited impact on social justice issues within China.
