A Family in LAW

Professor Kwang Lim Koh joined the BU Law faculty in 1953. He taught international law, jurisprudence, and legal history, and was one of the first Korean law professors in the United States. A sought-after diplomat, he led missions to the United Nations and served as the South Korean acting ambassador to the US. Nearly 70 years later, his grandson, Steven Koh, joined the BU Law faculty as an associate professor of comparative and international criminal law. Professor Steven Koh reflects on his grandfather’s legacy and how it feels to follow in his footsteps. Created by Winikur Productions with Conor Doherty.
