The School of Law offers one of the few programs .. in the country that fo cus special a ttention on Asian law, and UCLA's loca ti on in Los Ange les situates the law school in a major legal center w hich is also a foca l point of world trade. This co mbination of factors has a ttracted students of top cali ber. "These s tudents are very impressive; they are as good as any st ud ent s anywhere in the U.S. in terms of their background, training and intell ect. We're fortunate to have them," says Professor Alford. "We are attracting many s tudents w ith extensive lan­ guage skills," adds Professor Rosell, "some of them recent immigrants from East Asia, while others have specialized in East Asian s tudies as part of their academic careers." David Kay '86 is a case in point. Whi le at Bro wn Uni versity, he became fluent in Mandarin Chinese; he also acquired a background in Japanese, as he continued hi s studies in Oriental languages and li teratures at Berkeley. "I realized early on that language was the ke y to things," says Kay. "While reading a book on Chinese hi s tory in two trans lations w hich were very differ­ ent, I realized I would have to mas ter the language." Kay received a graduate fell owship to co ntinue hi s s tudy at the Stanford Center in Taiwan from 1977 to 1978, at a time w hen "there was no opportunity for any American to s tudy on th e mainland." The breakthro ugh in U.S.-China relations came the next year. "Scholars had recogni zed that the David Kay U.S. China policy would eventuall y change, but there had been no guarantee that it would be in our lifetime." Kay has jus t completed an article for publication a s um mer in Hong Ko ng. "Professor Al ford was in the UCLA Law Revie w on a topic whi ch, in its ve ry helpful on the article," Ka y says.

Near the end of his summer position in the inter­ national department of Kindel & Anderson's office in downtown Los Ange les, Chen says quite openl y. "I am s till trying to solve the language problem. I should be honest and say it has no t bee n easy. One year of law school is not enoug h; there is so much to be learned, and for me this has been a learning experience. "I think !learned a lot from this job. I have begun to realize ho w a n Am erican law firm operates, whi ch will be of great value to me as a Chinese lawyer. By working here, I have gained useful ex perience since there are so many law firms being started in China." The entire st ructure of law as it is taught in a Western law school has been a new experi ence for Chen. "The American law school's case method is very different from the Chinese method of legal edu­ cation. In China, the student onl y takes notes: in th e American law schoo l, discussion occupies mo st of the class lime. T hat is the major difference. "In America, s tudents are much more in vo lved in class discussions; they often raise ques tions that give views opposing the teacher. Of course, stu­ dents in China sometimes argue w ith teachers­ but not so often as American students. This is a good point tha t we s hould learn from.

3 Linda Wong '84 is a prime example. A graduate of San Francisco City Co ll ege, s he studied social work a t Berkeley and Michigan. After a year as a social worker· in a San Francisco agency serving the elderly, s he decided that her goals co uld be ful ­ fill ed more effec ti ve ly through law. In her third year at UCLA, she became the firs t American law s tudent pl aced in a n externship w ithin the People's Republic of China. She became a law s tudent for a semester at Zhongshan Uni ve r­ s it y in Ca nton, a sis ter school to UCLA, and was sent with th ree Chinese law students to work in the cit y's Legal Advisory Bureau. The bmeau serves the functions of a law firm, dealing wi th foreign economic affairs for both Chinese and non-Chinese clients. Many of the matters handled by Wong were rela ted to business from U.S. and Japan, docu­ mented in both Chinese and Engli sh. As a Chinese-American, Wong fou nd that her hosts at first assumed that she spoke only Engl ish. "I told them in Chinese that it wasn't necessary to speak to me in English," but in lime away from work she would often help others to practice their Engli sh. In a second trip to China, Wong set her first priority to attend the Canton Trade Fair, where every Spring and Fall representati ves from prov­ inces throughout China come to sell their products in the international market. The gigantic expo seemed a natural background for Wong's personal interests in international trade.

Co ll oquia of this type are often only of academic inte1·es t, but the Japanese program on a regular basis includes practicing lawyers, among them several Japanese with offices in Los Angeles. Topics ha ve ranged from the developing law of co mputer software to the use of art in the service of law during Japan's Meiji period, when the modern codifi­ cation of law began. Rosell is also developing a curriculum in Japanese law for Americans, a project which will be supple­ ment ed by a seri es of works hops for teachers from North American law schools, funded by the UCLA/ USC Joint East Asian Language and Area Studies Center. Professor Phillip Trimble, who visited the Na­ tio na l University of Singapore last yea r, has also lectured in Sri Lanka, Pa ki s tan, Bangladesh and Thail and to law schools, bar associations, foreign minis tries nnd international studies institutes.
