Features: "Examples support the law, not break it," the guiding significance and reference value of cases in judicial work have always been emphasized by courts at all levels in China. (Supreme People's Court Gazette) Every issue carries cases approved by the Supreme People's Court or discussed by the Supreme People's Court Judicial Committee, requiring courts at all levels to refer to them in judicial work; since 2000, the Supreme People's Court has publicly disclosed judgments and rulings; since 1995, the Supreme People's Court China Applied Law Research Institute has edited and published (People's Court Case Selection).
1. Typical and Realistic Cases. Most selected cases belong to (Supreme People's Court Gazette), cases published by the Supreme People's Court and its divisions through other forms, and each case is as typical as possible. For convenience, we have summarized the essence of each case and listed it as "Problem Prompt" before the case. All cases maintain authenticity. In cases involving minors, personal privacy, and other content, some real names have been concealed.
2. Authoritative Analysis. In addition to (Supreme People's Court Gazette) cases and judgments and rulings announced by the Supreme People's Court, other cases are analyzed by presiding judges or experts on core legal issues, with particular emphasis on explaining hot or difficult issues in professional fields.
3. Comprehensive Legal Documents. The "Legal Application" section is specifically divided into [Laws, Regulations, and Rules], [Judicial Interpretations], [Inquiries and Replies], [Local Regulatory Documents], and [Judicial Policies]. Among them, replies by the Supreme People's Court to lower courts' inquiries on legal application, judicial documents published by local courts, and research findings by courts at all levels on adjudicating certain types of cases are also unique aspects of this series.
4. Detailed and Reasonable Classification. This series is divided into separate volumes based on different types of civil, criminal, and administrative cases (causes of action). Batch 1 has already launched 43 civil casebooks, and now Batch 2 criminal casebooks are being released. It should be noted that some cases were rendered before relevant new laws were enacted, so old legal provisions may appear in the judgments and analyses, but the legal issues involved remain important. Therefore, we have selectively included such cases, with the primary purpose of analyzing legal issues in the analysis. In the "Legal Application" section, the new legal basis is listed. Readers are advised to pay attention when using it.
