Features: To facilitate judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and other legal professionals in accurately referencing and correctly understanding the cases published by the Supreme People's Court in judicial practice, we have organized the compilation of this series. The series has the following characteristics:
1. The series is divided into three volumes: Criminal Cases, Civil Cases, and State Compensation · Administrative · Enforcement Cases. Among them, the Civil Cases volume is further divided into three sub-volumes: General Civil Cases, Economic Cases, and Intellectual Property Cases. Except for the Criminal Cases volume, the cases in the other volumes are selected from all cases published from the inception of the Bulletin in 1985 to June 2003. The analyzed cases are arranged in the order they were published in the Bulletin.
2. The series maintains the original text and headings of the Bulletin cases (including judgments and orders) without any modifications by the annotators. Each case consists of three parts: Case, Annotation, and Relevant Laws, Regulations, and Interpretations (applicable legal basis). The annotators provide systematic and comprehensive reviews of the cases regarding the determination of facts, the admission of evidence, the application of procedures, and the application of laws.
3. The annotators of the series are senior judges from higher people's courts, who possess both a solid foundation in law and rich judicial experience. The series is edited by Liu Jiachen, former Vice President of the Supreme People's Court. The Criminal Cases volume is edited by Luo Shuping, member of the judicial committee and executive head of the enforcement bureau of the Sichuan Higher People's Court. The State Compensation · Administrative · Enforcement Cases volume is edited by Zheng Gang, former Vice President of the Beijing Higher People's Court. The Civil Cases volume is edited by Wu Hezhen, Vice President of the Henan Higher People's Court.
4. Analyzing the cases published in the Supreme People's Court Bulletin is not only challenging but also inevitably involves different scholarly interpretations. However, since these cases have already taken legal effect, although the annotators may have differing opinions on the classification and application of laws in the original judgments, it does not affect the validity of the judgments. The publication of this series not only serves as an important reference for judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and other legal professionals in judicial practice but also serves as a reference material for legal theory research and teaching and research activities in law schools. It is also an ideal textbook for systematically popularizing legal knowledge in practice.
