Peking University School of Transnational Law

The Peking University School of Transnational Law (STL or PKUSTL) (Chinese: 北京大学国际法学院) is located within the campus of the Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. The school's inaugural class started in the fall of 2008. It is the first law school to offer a traditional US-style Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree (in English) alongside a Chinese-style Juris Master (J.M.) degree (in Mandarin). The program is four years and graduates will receive both the Chinese Juris Master's degree and an ABA unrecognized J.D. degree. STL also offers a 3-year J.D. degree in English and a 2-year Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree. The school's tagline is "China's most innovative law school in China's most innovative city". The School is partly run by bringing in emeritus professors from American institutions.

Jeffrey S. Lehman is the founding dean. Philip McConnaughay was the dean until 2024. Mark Feldman is the current interim dean.
