“Jones Day Introduction to International Legal Practice is an ideal course for people who want to know more about cross-border legal practices. Jones Day invites formidable speakers. This course is taught by veteran Partners practicing in different offices and even different jurisdictions. For instance, the speaker teaching our IP class is Mr. Anthony Insogna, a leading pharmaceutical and biotech patent attorney with nearly 30 years’ experience who represents top pharmaceutical and biotech companies as well as promising start-ups. The speaker teaching the M & A class was Mr. Ansgar Rempp. He was named a leading senior partner in M&A in JUVE's Handbook 2019, one of only 19 lawyers in Germany to be so recognized. In addition to talking about the US law, many of the topics are introduced by both lawyers working in the US and in the Europe, providing comparative perspectives from both sides. Speakers teach different areas of legal practice based on their true practices and introduce a lot of real case studies, which are really fascinating, and substantially help our understandings of the relevant areas.”

“各位资深合伙人和律师结合自己丰富的实践经验,无论在理论学习抑或法律实务领域都为我们带来了思想上的饕餮盛宴。主题式的课程讲授方式辅之以美国和欧洲国家的法律制度与实践对比,让我们能更好地理解各个国家的法律文化和制度选择,于细节处体会每一处法律设计的精细与巧妙。同时,各位合伙人和律师对于执业经验的分享更是让我获益匪浅。比如在 Introduction and the Criminal Trial 的授课过程中,Robert Huie 律师和 Ted Chung 律师在讲授刑事审判中的证据规则和交叉质询技巧等法律知识之余,更是分享了自己第一次出庭辩护的体会以及当时的心态和感悟,让我能更加真实地体会法律的艺术和人情的温暖,也更加明确自己的职业规划和就业选择。”

“在开学之初,我抱着提高英语水平、了解美欧主要法律的目的,第一时间就积极报名了这门课程。经过一学期的学习,我发现我的收获远超出我的想象。本学期的授课内容横跨破产法、专利法、反垄断法、环境法、刑事诉讼法等多个领域,真正做到了纵览美欧主要法律,可谓“博”。而在每个具体专题下,资深律师或合伙人都非常用心地准备 60-70 页 ppt,力图在有限的时间内让同学们尽量深入地了解该部法律,可谓“专”。这门课让我看到了不同律师的风采,虽然他们国籍不同、年龄不同、执业领域不同、服务的客户不同,但相同的是当他们谈及自己执业领域时所散发出来的自信和魅力。这让我深受鼓舞,也让我下定决心在本课程结束后,继续刻苦精进学业,在未来执业时能成为像他们一样的专业能力强且思维敏捷的优秀律师。”

“As a Belgian exchange student from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), I chose the online course “Jones Day: Introduction to International Legal Practice”. In Belgium, it is unknown that a law firm offers courses at a university, therefore I was very interested in following this course. Looking back, practicing law in a globally integrated law firm like Jones Day was an unforgettable experience for me. This course inspired me to discover unfamiliar areas of law and served as an excellent preparation for a career in the practice of law. Each week a different area of international legal practice was covered. These areas were covered from a Chinese, European and US law perspective by lecturers who were for example from the office in Brussels, Paris, New York, Washington and Chicago. As a consequence, I always had a very international, global feeling when I followed a class of this course.”

“The Jones Day course is colorful, brilliant, and charming. It inspires me to think globally and act locally. Why? Since the topics are dynamic. It buzzes the nexus of forces. Of course, most of us will be attorneys soon. On the one hand, we might work hard over time with paper chase. On the other hand, we may think of something bigger – anything but law. I feel the balance of those in the program. Frankly, I heard the program last year but it was a pity to miss it, since I still exchanged at Osgoode in Canada. This year, I make it comes true. What impressed me, firstly, is its global view. Based on my experience, I found we could learn more from varied jurisdictions. Especially there is a shock between civil law and common law. “We need to bridge it,” international lawyers said. Thus, diverse academic and professional backgrounds contribute to our wide-ranging ideas. Secondly, what we learn is practical. The counsels’ experience spills into the classroom and expands our horizon. It is the real way, the pave of hardworking and accountability. Thirdly, some topics are in my favor, like IP, M&A. Some are what I met for the first time, such as environmental law. It is new, so it is fresh. It is green, so it is clean. Do you know? It enlightens me to think about the analogy between data governance and discharge governance. What a fusion!”

“Jones Day is prominent and is one of the best law firms around the world, I feel so happy to join the course offered by Jones Day. I can expand my legal knowledge to U.S. and EU laws and found that they are very interesting and be the model of some of Thailand’s domestic laws, such as bankruptcy law and anti-trust law. Moreover, I am also inspired to keep going on this career path. In my own opinion, I really like EU Anti-Competition Law, Dispute Resolution and M&A sessions due to well arrangement of contents therein.”

“非常感谢北大给我这次宝贵的机会参与众达跨境法律律师实务课程。因为疫情,我们只能线上相聚;各位合伙人以lecture的形式授课,却不减精彩。每位主讲人能够脉络清晰地概括、深入浅出地讲解这一领域的法律规则与经典案例,化复杂为简单、化抽象为具体。令我印象深刻的是,他们还会带着我们反思法律规则背后的原理与效应,例如在知识产权专题中,几位律师就给我们提出了思考问题“最近的第 101 条法律阻止还是促进了科学进步”;他们还会分析对比中、美、欧盟等地区的法律法规,让我们对不同法律系统的规则有更全面、深刻的认识;他们还会带来对该领域最前沿、热点的展示与点拨,例如在争议解决专题中,律师们就讲述了新冠肺炎疫情对诉讼的影响。另外,英语授课为主的安排可使学习者的外语能力得到不少提升。”

“授课律师们在备课和授课中体现了专业素质,重视细节,语速适中,难度调节好,不仅仅局限于背景式的宏观介绍,还结合自己的实务经验进行系统讲解;同一主题有时会有两位老师相互补充,真正的在跨境甚至跨法系上剖析实务问题,印象比较深刻的是刑事程序这一章课程的设计,两位老师通过问答的形式,深入浅出讲解,让同门们直面庭审现场和实务前沿,配合默契、补充丰富,从控辩双方角度,系统展示,结合 O.J. 辛普森案件的纪录片,加深了我们对刑事审判过程的印象与理解,老师们回答问题非常细致、有耐心,课程的助教和老师对待课程也很上心,课后follow up很及时。”

“虽然因为疫情原因今年未能进行线下授课,但课程内容与质量却未缩水,是一次超乎预期而极有收获的学习之旅。课程给予了我法律英语方面的提升。课堂采用全英文授课,而课程材料采用中英双语,既促进了课堂理解,也方便了课后的继续学习。虽无现场翻译,但课后提供课程录像,使我有机会对未理解处反复观看。其次,这次课程让我获得了对“跨境业务”这一概念最直观、最全面也最深入的了解。由顶尖律所的合伙人亲自授课,展示了跨境业务各领域的荦荦大端,但律师们没有局限于浮光掠影的入门级介绍,而对实务中的细节与重要问题也进行了启发与点拨,俨然是将学生视做即将从事跨境业务的初级律师进行培养,在带来挑战的同时也带来了知识与思维上的锻炼。最后,得益于Jones Day的全球化优势,课程对同一个业务领域分别讲授在不同法域中的实务操作,譬如分别讲授了欧盟法与美国法下的对限制竞争行为的认定,分别讲解了美国与德国的并购业务流程,同学们可以在比较中对某一法律问题有更立体、多元的认识,这也是本课程的特色之一。”
