Two acclaimed international scholars spoke to Indiana Law students and faculty during November visits to the Center on the Global Legal Profession. On November 13, Dr. (Tony) Wang Yu-Chi, Taiwan’s National Security Advisor to President Ma Ying-jeou, spoke to students in CGLP Director and Professor Jayanth Krishnan’s comparative legal systems course. Wang was the first graduate from Maurer’s SJD program, receiving his degree in 1997. Wang discussed with the Indiana Law students his experiences as a key policymaker in Taiwan, as well as his former role as the country’s minister for mainland affairs, where he worked intensively on cross-strait relations between Taiwan and China. On November 18, the center hosted the Honorable Deepender Singh Hooda, an IU Kelley School of Business alumnus who is in his third term as a member of India’s lower house of parliament, the Lok Sabha. Hooda currently holds the visiting Poling Chair of Business and Government at Kelley. Hooda told students about the state of politics in India and his position as the whip for his party (the Indian National Congress), which is now in opposition to the current ruling government in power in India.
