During 2010-2011,the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law (Maryland Carey Law) and the Law School of the University of Finance and Economics,Beijing (CUFE Law) carried out a research and fieldwork project to document and evaluate the full development of microcredit programs in China,with particular focus on the legal framework governing micro-lending.The over-arching purpose of this research was to investigate the feasibility of establishing a legal education clinic designed to teach law students how to advise Chinese borrowers of microcredit on the latters rights and obligations under relevant loan and guarantee contracts,and to provide additional help to borrowers in financial risk management and basic business registration and planning.The research and fieldwork were carried out jointly by a group of law students from Maryland Carey Law and CUFE Law,under the guidance of Maryland and CUFE law professors.The project now houses an unparalleled level of data on the subject and CUFE Law is poised to develop the prospective law clinic.In other words,the hard work of creating the clinic is about to begin.My presentation will outline some of the challenges we are facing in implementing this clinic project,hoping to spur a productive discussion among the conference audience on shared experiences and how we at CUFE Law might overcome some of the challenges.
