Special Events

On November 1 and 2 students and faculty from UCI and the Institute of Comparative Law, Waseda University, one of Japan's top universities had a joint graduate conference on crime, law, and society. This was an inaugural conference of doctoral students and graduate students from UCI provided an opportunity to present their crime research on a broad range of topics including corporate governance and economic crime; individual lawbreaking; regulation; sanctioning issues; and legal theory and practice, and to discuss their work with foreign delegates over a two-day period. The common thread among these presentations was their analyses and implications for comparative and international work in their respective areas.
