A. Purpose of the Conference
Korea’s rise into the top tier of the world’s economies, its emergence as a vigorous democracy, and the dynamism of its society demands attention to the Korean constitutional, legal, and political systems. The signing of the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, and the accompanying liberalization of the Korean legal profession, has only accelerated interest in Korean law and institutions. The Berkeley Center for Korean Law will satisfy this growing demand by studying cutting edge topics on the development of the Korean legal and political system, and bring together leading scholars, officials, and professionals to deepen mutual understanding of both societies.
An annual conference will be held to encourage scholars, officials, and practitioners to exchange ideas and study cutting edge topics together. New ideas, theories, and best practices in various fields of law, government, and business will be developed after presentation of papers and discussion. Utilizing the network of Korean law students, legal scholars, and attorneys that have been trained at Berkeley, and reaching out to the substantial number of Korean-American lawyers in California and the rest of the United States, the Center will act as a focal point to foster networking and robust exchange of ideas and information on Korea. Students, legal scholars, practitioners, judicial officers, government officials, and businessmen from Korea and the United States will convene at the conference to share insights on matters of common concern.
The first conference will be held April 18-19, 2014 at Berkeley. Invitees will include Berkeley alumni in Korea, Berkeley Law faculty, leading attorneys and professors in Korea, and Korean-American lawyers and scholars. We will invite internationally-known figures to deliver keynote addresses and present papers. We plan on providing attorneys with CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credit to encourage participation. For every conference, we will publish research papers and articles for greater dissemination of the ideas and proposals.

The conference will present the best of Korean legal research in English. It will include panels on important public and private law issues affecting Korea and the United States, high profile cases such as the Apple-Samsung patent litigation, and implications of the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement for legal practice. Invitees will include Korean Supreme Court Justices, Korean judicial officers in California, professors, as well as partners from top law firms.
Publications. With sufficient support, the Berkeley Center plans to inaugurate a collection of works devoted to Korean scholarly research in English. The first volume, for example, will publish the papers from the 2014 conference; our goal is to add an additional volume every year. This will expand access to work on Korean law and politics to researchers and students throughout the United States and the English-speaking world. With the success of the series, we anticipate creating an online scholarly journal that could provide a home for Korean professors and students, in both Korea and the United States, to present research in a shorter format.
