Wayne State University Law School Professor Peter J. Henning has received a Fulbright Specialist grant to teach for three weeks this summer in Taiwan.
Henning will present “Study on Criminal Law and Procedure” at the Academy for the Judiciary, Ministry of Justice in Taipei from June 14 to July 1.
His topics will include a discussion of the Hobbs Act, the recent encryption dispute between the FBI and Apple, the protection of privacy and the admissibility of video recordings.
“Being selected for a Fulbright Specialist grant is a great honor because it helps foster closer relations with the host country and provides a wonderful learning experience,” Henning said. “I will get to work with and interact with judges at all levels of Taiwan’s judiciary and help contribute to the development of the law there.”
Henning said he was looking forward to seeing “how another legal system operates and compare it with the United States.”
“I’m very excited to spend time in Taiwan,” he said, “and I’m hopeful that it will help Wayne Law develop further relationships there.”
Wayne Law has a partnership for student and faculty exchanges with National Taiwan University.
The Fulbright Specialist Program promotes cooperation and relationship building between United States scholars and professionals and their counterparts at host institutions abroad.
The focus of the program is to build educational capacity and to develop long-term relationships.
Specialist grants are awarded to U.S. faculty and professionals, in select disciplines, to work on collaborative two-week to six-week projects at eligible facilities throughout the world.
The program is part of the broader Fulbright Program, the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange effort to increase understanding between Americans and people in other countries.
In 2013, Henning was a Fulbright Scholar teaching at the University of Zagreb in Croatia.
Henning joined the Wayne Law faculty in 1994 and has received numerous teaching awards, including the President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Donald H. Gordon Award for Excellence in Teaching.
After graduating from Georgetown University Law Center in 1985, Henning was a senior attorney in the Division of Enforcement at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission until 1991.
He worked on cases involving insider trading, penny stock fraud, market manipulation and accounting irregularities.
Henning then moved to the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, working in the Fraud Section on the investigation and prosecution of bank fraud.
Henning’s scholarship focuses primarily on white collar crime, constitutional criminal procedure and attorney ethics.
