Seven years ago, Professor W. Michael Reisman of Yale Law School—my
mentor—visited the School of Law, City University of Hong Kong. Out of his
love for students and to support the School of Law, Professor Reisman agreed
to co-teach with me a course on Selected Problems of International Investment
Law. What an honor for me and what an opportunity for the students! Professor
Reisman adopted the syllabus that he used in the Yale Law School as well as the
teaching method he employed there—examination of arbitral awards by students.
As Professor Reisman was unable to teach in person on a weekly basis in Hong
Kong, part of the course was taught via video link facilities, which was a novel
experience for all of us. This co-taught course was offered for six years in a row
and was a complete success every time.
