Monday, July 26th, 2010Why China Companies Are A Litigation Mark (As In Sucker), Part II.
Monday, July 26th, 2010Source: China Law Blog
The other day, in a post entitled, "Why United States Lawsuits Against Chinese Companies Are Trending Up. Just Follow The Money," I talked of how U.S. lawsuits against Chinese companies are rapidly increasing. That post posits various reasons why this is the case, focusing mostly on increased US-China trade and on an increase in Chinese companies with U.S. assets worth seizing.
I just read a very thoughtful post that provides another really good explanation: Chinese companies do not hire the right lawyers. The post is entitled, "The Stakes Are Too High For China Not To Cooperate And Participate In Trade Remedy Disputes, And To Hire The Best Counsel," and though its focus is on anti-dumping cases against Chinese companies, its analysis has a much broader application.
The post talks of how Chinese companies that hire top counsel for their anti-dumping cases fare surprisingly well, while those who hire counsel based strictly on their low fees, virtually never win. The explanation for these disparate results is rather simple:

Teaching International Criminal Law in Germany
Monday, July 26th, 2010Source: Marquette University Law School Faculty Blog
Today marks the start of the second week of the Summer Session in International and Comparative Law in Giessen Germany. Pictured at the top of this post is the “castle,” the building where my class in International Criminal Law meets. Inside this charming old exterior are some of the modern and fully equipped classrooms of Justus Liebig University, although the Justus Liebig Law School itself is physically located elsewhere.
My International Criminal Law class has 34 students. There are 15 students from Marquette University Law School, 4 students from the University of Wisconsin Law School, and 4 students from other U.S. law schools. The remaining 11 students come from law schools around the world, including Germany, Ethiopia, Turkey, Luxembourg, South Africa, Norway, Greece and Brazil.
Giessen is a college town. It is dominated by University buildings spread throughout the town, much like Madison, Wisconsin. There are numerous outdoor beer gardens and cafes, and the local population seems to spend much of their time sitting outside and drinking either coffee or beer. It seems appropriate that the word “Giessen” translates into english as “pouring.”
The course offerings for the Summer Session are quite substantive,...
