Philip McConnaughay has been named the next dean of the Peking University School of Transnational Law (STL) in Shenzhen, China. The school was founded in 2007 and led unti last year by former University of Michigan Law School dean and former Cornell University President Jeffrey Lehman, and teaches both U.S. and Chinese law. The first class graduated in 2012.
“I think the potential of STL is being realized,” McConnaughay said in an interview on January 24. “Their graduates are helping to shape global legal services, and they are contributing to greater transnational collaboration.”
