In Far East, Dean Wilson lectures, establishes new ties for Akron Law

Dean Matthew Wilson recently traveled to Korea and Japan to speak at an international conference on Korean Law and its Development in a Globalizing World and extend Akron Law's international reach by establishing relationships with various universities.

Dean Wilson was one of only six internationally renowned experts on Asian law invited by the Korea Legislation Research Institute to participate in this conference. He was joined by international legal scholars from Australian National University, National University of Singapore,
Shantou University (China), Goethe University (Germany), and Far Eastern Federal University (Russia) as well as various Korean university professors and governmental researchers. Dean Wilson spoke on the topic of citizen participation in the South Korean legal process including
jury trials and elections.

While he was in Asia, Dean Wilson also spoke at Nagoya University Law School (Japan) and Kyung Hee University Law School (South Korea) on the role of culture in international negotiations.
