Apologies for the somewhat belated posting, but I wanted to spotlight Ezra Wasserman Mitchell, Professor, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics School of Law, who along with Kent Greenfield, Professor, Boston College Law School organized a marvelous conference at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics School of Law SUFE Law School Commercial Law Center. A great group of scholars from the U.S., China, Europe and Australia gathered together to speak to emerging issues of corporate law. The contributions were excellent, enriched by the commentary from scholars from different legal systems and cultures, and the discussion that ended each panel.
The Program follows below. The PPT f my own presentation will follow in another post.
