Despite these troubling ties, judges from various U.S. courts - including the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals - have doubled as faculty and guest lecturers while serving on the bench.
Former judges from the Chinese Communist Party's Supreme People's Court are also on the school's faculty.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spent a "Week in residence" at the university in 2016, with a summary revealing that he "Expressed thanks for the warm reception of Peking University and Law School and expressed great pleasure to visit China."
The day's keynote address will be delivered by United States Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The National Pulse can also reveal that Senior Circuit Judge and Chief Judge Emeritus of the D.C. Court of Appeals Harry Edwards, Circuit Judge of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit William Fletcher, and Chief Circuit Judge of the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit D. Brooks Smith have served as Visiting Lecturers at the school.
Judge Russel Canan, an Associate Judge at the Superior Court of D.C., is also a current Visiting Professor at Peking's STL. Judge Frederick Weisberg simultaneously teaches at Peking University's STL while serving as an Associate Judge on the D.C. Superior Court.
Judge Robert Morin, who was promoted by former President Barack Obama to become the Chief Judge of the D.C. Superior Court before retiring, was a Visiting Professor at Peking University's STL in 2012.
