This book begins with a brief overview of the important events of the twentieth century that has shaped modern China, and then turns to a systematic analysis of the structure of government, basic human rights and liberties, and the role of the Communist Party in the governance of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It examines all major PRC legal institutions, including the law-making organs, courts, procuratorates, police, and the legal profession. Also provides an overview of the major areas of procedural and substantive black letter law in the PRC, with a focus on foreign investment and intellectual property laws.

This review is from: The Legal System of the People's Republic of China in a Nutshell (West Nutshell) (Paperback)
I'm currently teaching International and US law in Beijing and wanted a reference to learn more about the PRC system. This was a perfect resource and gave me several needed insights about why some things here are the way they are. Highly recommended for those that just need an overview of the subject like I did. For those that want or need more information, there are additional resources at the end of the book.

This review is from: The Legal System of the People's Republic of China in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
The book is very good to understand the evolution of the legal system of the PRC; it is a well-written historical explanation and is also quite objective.
Helped me a lot on my graduation thesis.

This review is from: The Legal System of the People's Republic of China in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
This is a one stop comprehensive resource to learn the current legal system in China. China is changing rapidly. Their legal infrastructure is just being assembled. It also gives a lot of historical background, which is indispensiable to understanding the legal system. How can a country that does not recognize personal property rights have intellectual property law? I recommend reading the book then going over to mainland China to check things out. Also law schools offer great summer courses in China now which add real life experience to your readings.
