Jones Day, one of world's largest law firms, has expanded its Jones Day International Legal Fellowship to two Chinese cities, a move it said is designed to encourage legal education in China.

The US law firm granted 10 law students the fellowship in Beijing this time.

Inaugurated in 2001 in China, the annual fellowship was previously only awarded to 10 outstanding law students in Shanghai.

The awards are based on academic record, original thought, oral and written presentation skills in English and Chinese as well as other achievements.
