It draws widely on laws and regulations, policies, cases, official statistics as well as the latest Chinese and foreign literature. The informed analysis answers intriguing questions such as why China runs the world's largest database of court judgments without recognising any precedent, or why the number of judges was cut by 40% despite a more than doubled caseload. Ultimately it offers a new approach on how to understand Chinese law and legal reforms in the contemporary world"-- SN - 9789004537125 UR - https://brill.com/abstract/title/64169 UR - https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004537125 DO - 10.1163/9789004537125 LA - English N1 - by Lu Xu ID - 188754349X ER -
