BIO

HUANG Hui is Professor of Law at Peking University School of Transnational Law School. She is Arbitrator of Beijing Arbitration Commission and Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration, Council Member of the Chinese Constitutional Law Association, the Chinese Commercial Law Association, the Chinese Case Law Association, and Standing Council Member of Beijing Education Law Association. She is Senior Research Fellow of the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) of 2017, Senior Consultant of the Case Research Institute of the SPC, fellow at the Information Centre of SPC, and a Member of the Intellectual Property Guiding Cases Base (Beijing) Advisory Committee of the SPC. In 2009, she got the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship and worked as Visiting Professor at Free University of Berlin (Germany).

Professor HUANG Hui has become very active in many respects of Chinese legal academia. Under the current division of legal academia in China, her academic research and teaching span across several areas of law, however, seen from a methodological point of view they can be oriented as normative legal science (规范法学) or, to use the German term, legal dogmatics (Rechtsdogmatik) (法教义学). In other words, her focus is on legal scholarship that aims to realize the practical function of law, with an emphasis on interpretation and application of legal norms. From the more macro perspective of what drives her work, her inclination as a law professor can be summarized below- in her words: “similar to many respected senior and contemporary colleagues, my work includes academic studies (centered on Constitutional interpretation and legal methodology), legal education (centered on the purpose, structure and method of legal education), and construction of China’s rule of law (centered on Chinese Guiding Cases System, Judicial Reform of the SPC)”
