Legal Frontiers is the new podcast from Peking University School of Transnational Law (STL), providing research-based analysis of developments in transnational law and legal practice.

STL is the only law school in the world that combines an American-style Juris Doctor degree (J.D.) with a China law Juris Master degree (J.M.). STL provides an academically rigorous, bilingual four-year program of legal education that prepares students for the mixture of common law, civil law, and Chinese legal traditions increasingly characteristic of the global economy. STL also offers a unique LL.M. program for international students.
