Why Law in China?

Its boom time in China. Yet much of the country is still developing and retains its mystery and beauty. Rich in culture, history and breathtaking landscapes, visitors to China experience contemporary and ancient values, poverty and wealth, communism and capitalism.

Volunteering in China

Law volunteers are involved in helping to prepare, check and revise legal documents such as loan and mortgage contracts and letters of legal opinion. Sometimes you will meet and prepare documents with the clients themselves and you may observe cases when your supervisor is representing clients. Volunteers often also help to market the firm and recruit new business from English-speaking clients. These placements are open to anyone - you don't need to be a qualified lawyer!
