"Smart Law and Intelligen​t Machines" Symposium

Due to coronavirus concerns and the travel complications with our out-of-state and international presenters, we have regretfully postponed this symposium to the next academic year. The health and safety of our guests, students and staff is our first priority. We will provide an update on this webpage and via email in August 2020. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Prof. Peter Yu.
