Opportunities to Support the U.S.-Asia Law Institute

Since its founding in 2006, the U.S.-Asia Law Institute at New York University School of Law has received enthusiastic support from the Law School and its broader community. However, the Institute is self-funded and is responsible for the great majority of its own fundraising. The Institute has been funded through grants generously provided by the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the U.S.-China Legal Cooperation Fund, and the U.S. Department of State.

The Institute is also supported by the generosity of individuals through gifts and grants.

Below is a description of the giving opportunities available to those interested in supporting the mission of the Institute as we seek to bridge the gap between the Asian legal community and our own. All contributions are tax-deductible. You can contribute to the Institute by filling out this contribution form and mailing it to:

Core Support

The Institute's greatest need is for flexible, operating support which will enable us to quickly respond to the specific legal reform needs of Asia. Funds allocated for core support will be used to improve our research capacities, create new initiatives to achieve our dual goals of assistance to and understanding of Asian legal systems, organize public events both in Asia and in the United States, and increase the connection between our work in Asia and the development of an in-depth Asian law curriculum at NYU School of Law.

Conferences, Roundtables, Forums and Symposia

By regularly convening lawyers, judges, officials, scholars, policy makers, students and the public, we work to increase the understanding of Asian legal systems domestically, regionally, and internationally. Additionally, by inviting experts from both sides of the Pacific and from all parts of Asia, our conferences and roundtables offer a comparative perspective to Asian legal reformers. These sessions vary in format and size ranging from intimate small-scale discussions to national and international conferences.
