Description
Summary:On March 11, 2014 (Beijing) and March 10, 2014 (Boston), scholars from China and the U.S. attended the inaugural Renmin University International Virtual Workshop (RUIVW). A new platform for scholarly communication, RUIVW takes advantage of the internet videoconference technology to convene scholars from various parts of the world to discuss Professor Duncan Kennedy's work, three Globalizations of Law and Legal Thought: 1850-2000. Professor Duncan Kennedy's seminal work on the globalization of law and legal thought was introduced to China in 2009, when Gao Hong]un, a Chinese legal philosopher, took on the task of translating it into Chinese.1 The article (hereinafter "Three Globalizations") has since been treated seriously by the Chinese legal academia, with prominent figures such as Professor Gao discussing the work in depth and a number of doctoral theses devoted to analyzing its core ideas.2 RUIVW was yet another occasion for Chinese scholars to engage its ideas and try to bring its insights to the Chinese context. The participants of R UIVW on the Chinese side are accomplished jurists and promising young scholars in jurisprudence, private law and public law. On the American side, Professor William Alford is a leading scholar in comparative law and a long-time friend of the Chinese legal academia. Professor Kennedy is an eminent figure in jurisprudence and founder of Critical Legal Studies (CLS). The Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) candidates from Harvard Law School and Professor Shen Yuanyuan, a legal scholar teaching at Boston College of Law and Zhefiang University, attended the workshop as well. The workshop participants discussed issues such as legal transplantation, the globalization of legal thought, the rule of law, the judicial system, the evolution of legal norms, etc. It was a fruitful and enlightening experience for all the participants. The following is the transcript of the first R UIVIW session.
