Our Mission
November 6, 2019: Korea Law Center Visiting Scholars visit the Orange County Superior Court, and met with Honorable Richard Y. Lee in his chambers.
The mission of the Korea Law Center is to study and promote solutions to issues arising at the intersection of U.S. and Korean Law. The Korea Law Center was established in 2009 to serve as a platform for exchange, collaboration, and the sharing of knowledge between students, legal scholars, judges, lawyers, and policymakers from South Korea and the United States.
The Korea Law Center is directed by Sung Eun (Summer) Kim, Professor of Law.
