handle is hein.journals/sydney34 and id is 1 raw text is: Introduction: Asian Investment and Finance Law Vivienne Bath* and Luke Nottaget This special issue marks the latest milestone in Sydney Law School's long and strong tradition in engaging with Asian legal systems. The late Professor Alice Erh-Soon Tay, former Head of the Department of Jurisprudence, became the Director of the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law at the University of Sydney (CAPLUS) upon its establishment in 1994. Professor Tay had a deep commitment to the study of the development of law in the Asian region. Her many publications included Greater China: Law, Society and Trade,' and the breadth and depth of her scholarly engagement with Asian legal systems is evidenced by a commemorative volume published soon after her untimely passing in 2003.2 Under her leadership, the Law School, through CAPLUS and in conjunction with the East China University of Politics and Law, initiated one of the first intensive programs in Chinese Law giving Australian students the opportunity to study Chinese law in the People's Republic of China. The Shanghai Winter School continues to be one of Sydney Law School's most popular programs, and recently celebrated its 18t year of operation. Associate Professor Klaus (Alex) Ziegert became CAPLUS Director in 1998, after Professor Tay was appointed President of Australia's Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. Drawing on his expertise in socialist law and systems-theory based 'comparative jurisprudence', he established the 'Hanoi Winter School' to encourage Australian student engagement with Vietnamese law. Professor Luke Nottage, a specialist in Japanese law, joined Sydney Law School in 2001 and, with support from CAPLUS,3 established the cross- institutional Australian Network for Japanese Law (ANJeL). Now centred on the law schools at the University of Sydney, the Australian National University and Bond University, ANJeL promotes teaching, research and community engagement with the Japanese legal system, particularly in Australia. Activities include annual Professor of Chinese and International Business Law and Director, Centre for Asian and Pacific Law at the University of Sydney (CAPLUS), Sydney Law School. Professor of Comparative and Transnational Business Law, Associate Dean (International Students), and Co-Director, Australian Network for Japanese Law (ANJeL), Sydney Law School.
