CWRU Law Alum Su He, who earned both her LLM and JD from our law school, was recently honored as one of Crain’s 40 Under 40 leaders.
Su He came to Case Western Reserve after graduating from Southwest University of Politics and Law in Chong Quinn, China. In addition to her Immigration and Business Law Practice at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, she is executive director of the Greater Cleveland Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Michael Scharf, dean of the law school from 2013-2024 and now associate dean for Global Legal Studies, has worked closely with Su He first as a student and later as a colleague. “For the past seven years she has helped us build our joint program in International Commercial Law and Dispute Resolution,” he said. “The unique three-year program, which she directs, sends four CWRU law professors to teach in China each year and brings dozens of Chinese law students to CWRU for our LLM degree.” Su He also co-teaches our Professional Responsibility course for LLM students, Scharf noted.
“There's an old saying in China: At fifteen, I set my heart on learning. At thirty, I planted my feet firmly on the ground. At forty, I no longer suffered from perplexity. At fifty, I knew the will of Heaven, Su He said. “40 is just the start of the second half and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”
