ISBA President Paula H. Holderman met with a delegation of Chinese lawyers on Monday at the Chicago Regional Office. Appellate Justice Jesse Reyes, a member of the ISBA Bench and Bar Section Council, was also on hand for the meeting. Representing the Chinese delegation were Linda Yang and Minglei Wu of the Beijing Bar Association.
The group discussed differences in the American and Chinese legal systems and similarities among bar associations in the different countries. One noted recent change in the Chinese legal system is that judges are now required to have passed the bar exam. The judicial system previously consisted mostly of retired military officers.
