William Catron Jones Lecture Series
The William Catron Jones Lecture Series honors the work and memory of the late Professor William C. Jones who was an internationally acclaimed scholar of Chinese law. For more than 35 years, Professor Jones worked in the area of Chinese and comparative law, making numerous contributions to Chinese legal studies in the United States. He translated the last major imperial Chinese legal code – The Great Qing Code – and the first precursor of the civil code of the People’s Republic of China – the General Principles of the Civil Law.
Professor Jones, the Charles F. Nagel Professor Emeritus of International and Comparative Law, joined Washington University School of Law in 1955. During his years of service, he served as a lecturer for the International Association for Teaching Comparative Law, a visiting scholar at various universities around the world, and a Fulbright Lecturer at Wuhan University. To commemorate the inter-disciplinary nature of his work, the William C. Jones Lecture Series is jointly sponsored by the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute at the Washington University School of Law and the Program in East Asian Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences.
