Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Asian Law Center celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012. Founding director of the (then) Asian Law Program, Professor Dan Fenno Henderson, led the development of Asian and comparative law in North America. The second director, Professor John O. Haley, consolidated the UW scholarly reputation in comparative approaches to Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese law. During Professor Veronica L. Taylor's tenure as director, the program became the Asian Law Center, extending the geographic reach to include Central Asia and Southeast Asia, while focusing on the intersection of emerging business and investment markets, development and rule of law, and Islamic law in context. The center continued to develop this work under the leadership of Professor Jonathan A. Eddy and Professor Dongsheng Zang.
Regarded by many scholars as the place that established Asian law as an innovative and serious discipline more than 50 years ago, the Asian Law Center at UW continues to push the boundaries of legal knowledge.
