‘Drawing on his experience as a scholar and a practitioner, Stanley Lubman brings together two extraordinary resources for those interested in understanding modern Chinese law. Aside from the collected wisdom of over two dozen leading experts on China’s legal system, covering almost every important subject, there is Lubman’s insightful introduction, placing the works of this anthology in context. This collection – work ranging from constitutional, procedural and administrative to civil and criminal law with a trenchant and comprehensive survey drawing upon the knowledge of a pre-eminent observer of the Chinese legal order for almost five decades – is exceptionally valuable.’
