Joint Conference with Renmin University of China

Renmin University, located in Beijing, is one of the top three universities in China.  
TAU Law hosted five senior professors from Renmin, following a visit of the Dean, Prof. Ron Harris, and Prof. Eyal Benvenisti at Renmin last year, extending the productive cooperation between the two universities. 
One of the session's reviewed the Tang Penal Code, showing that most issues that would be classified as torts today, were previously used to be considered criminal, as an offense towards the emperor and the entire system of government. Questions regarding the influences of traditional perception on the modern legal system were discussed, comparing the Chinese experience with similar issues in Israeli law and Jewish law.
