A British-South African who majored in medicine and is
interested in Chinese law has been working as a mediator to settle
disputes between residents in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.
Kate Kinahan, the 27-year-old woman, entered Nanjing
University's law school in 2003 to study dispute settlement.
Early last month, she became a mediator in the Haining Road
branch of the Gulou district bureau of justice.
When she joined the branch staff to settle a recent housing
dispute between family members, those involved in the dispute were
surprised a foreigner was one of their mediators. They were soon
impressed with her proficiency in Chinese and the law.
