A leading U.S. scholar on Chinese law and legal history, Professor Tahirih V. Lee's publications include the 4-volume anthology, Chinese Law: Sociological, Political, Historical, and Economic Perspectives (Garland Press, 1997).

This is the first law school course to link American students and Chinese students in simulated trade transactions, a daily interaction that's proven to be a great success on both sides of the Pacific each time it's offered.

Professor Lee has taught at University of Minnesota Law School and at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where she held the Wing Tat Lee Chair in International and Comparative Law as a visitor, was an associate at the Harvard Fairbank Center for East Asian Research, and a Pew Scholar at the Harvard Academy for Area Studies.

A Coker Fellow and a Review and Comments Editor for the Yale Law Journal, Professor Lee received her J.D. from Yale Law School and her Ph.D. in History from Yale University.
