Interviews for The Edgar Snow Scholarship
——A Full Tuition JD Scholarship at the Foreign Studies Program at UMKC School of Law
Late March, 2011
Beijing, Shanghai
UMKC School of Law has a long established relationship with China and Chinese Law Schools, and has been inviting Chinese students to study law in Kansas City for more than a decade. The Edgar Snow Scholarship - named for the famous journalist who was born and raised in Kansas City and later became a great friend of China - is now in it’s eleventh year.
The scholarship is a full tuition scholarship - worth about $35,000 each year for three years. Students must pay some student fees and their own living expenses in Kansas City, which are lower than expenses in many other cities. This year’s student will be sponsored by the law firm of Husch, Blackwell, Sanders, a 700 lawyer law firm with offices in many cities in the American midwest.
The scholarship includes an opportunity for a paid summer internship at Husch Blackwell Sanders following the first year of the program. This internship is of relatively short duration - 5-6 weeks - and will be supervised by Husch Blackwell lawyer Fang Shen, who was our first Edgar Snow Scholar and now supervises the China related practice of the firm and does general corporate law work as well.
About one third of the past Edgar Snow Scholars have found ways to remain in America and are actively in practice here. The others have returned to China and have found satisfactory jobs in commercial law firms in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
An interview is required to qualify for admission and scholarship. Professor Patrick Randolph, Director of the Program, will be in China at the end of March and can conduct interviews there for the program.
As before, UMKC’s primary purpose in bringing Chinese students to America is to broaden the perspective of our American students and faculty, and to bring about better preparation for the future worldwide marketplace, in which American and Chinese lawyers must cooperate. We are not interested in making a lot of money from Chinese student tuition. But the Edgar Snow Scholarship is a highly prestigious and sought after scholarship, and a high LSAT score (at least mid 160‘s) and excellent language skills are required.
Edgar Snow Scholars will find a warm, supportive community here, including about 20 mainland Chinese students pursuing LLM or JD degrees.
The statement set forth at
http://www1.law.umkc.edu/academic/china/llm/overview.htm
will give you complete information about other Chinese students concerning their experiences studying in America and their experience at UMKC. The website is primarily for our foreign LLM program, but is useful for those interested in JD studies as well. You also will find email contacts for every one of our current students. You are free to contact any of them. Note that there are a wide variety of home schools and backgrounds, but still, all of them seem happy with their choice of UMKC.
Professor Patrick Randolph, director of the Chinese programs at UMKC School of Law, and director of the Peking University Center for Real Estate Law, will conduct interviews for the programs. Interested candidates may arrange for an interview by contacting Ms. Nancy Kunkel, Administrative Assistant, at kunkeln@umkc.edu or by phone at 816 235 1647. It is helpful, but not necessary, to have completed your application before the interview.
If you have difficulty contacting Ms. Kunkel, you may email Professor Randolph at randolphp@umkc.edu or phone him on his Chinese cell phone after March 27 - 13681008820. It is better to go through Ms. Kunkel if you can. Beijing Interviews will be conducted at Professor Randolph’s apartment in Lan Qi Yin, near to the Beida and Tsinghua campuses. Ms. Kunkel will provide precise directions. Shanghai interviews will be conducted at a law office in Shanghai, and directions will be provided to those who apply. Guangzhou interviews will be conducted at a downtown hotel and, again, directions will be provided to those who apply.
