Every Spring, the Center for Korean Legal Studies offers a course entitled "Contemporary Issues in Business Laws of South and North Korea." The three-credit course, only offered in the Spring semester, is taught by the Center Director, Jeong-Ho Roh. The course examines changes to the business law environment in both South and North Korea, including the IMF bailout of Korea in November 1997 and the subsequent restructuring efforts that caused fundamental changes to many of the laws, regulations, and practices applicable to doing business in Korea. The class also looks at new prospects for foreign investment in North Korea. Students are encouraged to explore themes relating to Korea's initial encounter with Western law and Korean ideas and attitude toward law.
