The Korea Law Center aims to be a research hub for a robust exchange of ideas, theories and best practices in the fields of law, government, and businesses, bringing together scholars, judges, officials, and lawyers to deepen mutual understanding of both societies. The new center will hold public conferences and offer new courses and research on South Korea.  The Center will address the development of the Korean legal, constitutional, and political systems. Related research will focus on the role of courts in protecting individual rights, the regulation of public health and safety, and the ability of independent agencies to control economic growth. The Center will also examine the Dokdo Islands dispute between Korea and Japan and reunification of North and South Korea.
