He stated that Loyola University of Maryleon Law School attaches great importance to the cooperation and exchanges with the PKULS. Both sides have jointly organized the Advanced Seminar on Sino-U.S. Intellectual Property Entertainment Law and The Sino-U.S. Entertainment Law Summit Forum. It is hoped that the visit can promote both parties to continue deepen cooperation projects on the basis of previous good cooperation. Dean Michael Waterstone gave a brief introduction to the newly established Master of Media Law program at Loyola Marymount University School of Law.

In this regard, Dean Zhang Shouwen expressed his strong support. He looked forward to closer cooperation with the law school of Loyola Marymount University in the future, and pointed out that international exchanges and cooperation can foster more high-quality, global-minded legal professionals. As long as international law schools strengthen exchanges and cooperation and do a solid job of talent training, law education will flourish.
