Studies at the Columbia University School of Law, the Columbia Journal ofAsian
Law is the successor to the Journal of Chinese Law, which commenced publication
in 1987. The Columbia Journal of Asian Law provides a forum for legal
practitioners and scholars from Asia, the United States, and elsewhere to discuss the
broad range of issues that relate to law in the countries of Asia. The Columbia
Journal of Asian Law welcomes multidisciplinary, historical, and comparative

and practice. As part of this effort, the Columbia Journal ofAsian Law maintains a
