Peking University Law School and Dacheng Launch Legal Clinical Program

On May 8 2014, a signing ceremony was held at the head office of Dacheng to celebrate the launch of Peking University Law School Experimental Education Base and Peking University Clinical Program at Dacheng.

The ceremony was hosted by Zhao Yunheng, head of Dacheng Beijing office’s criminal defense division. Yang Xiaolei, deputy Party secretary of Peking University Law School and executive director of the School’s Clinical and Experimental Law Teaching Center, Liu Donghua, Yu Rong, Yang Ying and Lu Jiangnan, tutors at the Center and over a dozen student representatives attended the ceremony. Ma Jiangtao, member of Dacheng’s central management team and deputy head of Dacheng’s Executive Committee, Dao Rina, head of Beijing office’s litigation and arbitration division, senior partner Wu Feng, senior counsel Li Tao and partner Zhang Dong from the litigation and arbitration division were present at the ceremony on behalf of Dacheng.

Since September last year, veteran criminal defense, litigation and arbitration attorneys from Dacheng’s head office have been giving training sessions every week to undergraduate and graduate students from Peking University School Law. As more than one school term passes, the two sides feel more strongly the necessity of officially launching a clinical program and an experimental education base at Dacheng.

After the signing of agreement, Peking University Law School conferred letters of appointment to attorneys Dao Rina, Wu Feng, Xu Ping, Xu Xilong, Zhang Dong and Zhao Yunheng, who would provide guidance to students participating in such program.
