The Columbia-China Law and Business Association (CCLBA) is a preprofessional group that organizes events relevant to finance, business, and law in order to help its members realize their goals. The organization holds panels with notable professors, business leaders and alumni in order to educate Columbia students on the importance of networking and planning for a future career. CCLBA focuses on Chinese and Asian emerging markets through educational panels and workshops discussing the legal framework, business development, and professional opportunities available in the region.
Events
CCLBA hosts speaker panels, networking events, informational presentations, workshops, and other preprofessional events.
CCLBA often coordinates events with Kaplan, EconSociety, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, the Asian Business Association (Columbia Business School), and other organizations. Events that CCLBA hosts each year include the ABA-CCLBA business school mentoring initiative, how to find an internship panel, and "how to turn an internship into a full-time offer" panel.
The golden age of CCLBA was 2013-2014.
