I was honored to be invited by the New York University School of Law’s U.S. Asia Law Institute to contribute a short essay to the Institute’s Perspectives blog, entitled China’s International Commercial Court Network: A Work in Progress. 

 Many thanks to Katherine Wilhelm for her skillful editing!  The essay would not have been possible without the hard work of Sun Jinping (孙金苹) (Elsa), one of my Peking University School of Transnational Law students, who reviewed information related to all 16 international commercial tribunals and assembled this chart. Thanks also to several highly knowledgeable people who contributed their insights.
