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 orders. The Supreme People's Court China Applied Law Research Institute has been editing and publishing Selected Cases of the People's Courts since 1995.
After nearly a year of effort, we have launched this series of books. In the editing process, we attempted to give the series the following distinct features:
1. Typical and Realistic Cases. Most of the selected cases belong to those published by the Supreme People's Court Gazette, the Supreme People's Court, and its divisions through other forms. 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 are kept real. In cases involving minors, personal privacy, and other content, some real names have been concealed.
2. Authoritative Analysis. In addition to cases from the Supreme People's Court Gazette and judgments and orders announced by the Supreme People's Court, other cases are analyzed authoritatively 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 from the Supreme People's Court to lower courts on legal application issues, judicial documents published by local courts, and research findings by courts at all levels on the handling of certain types of cases are also unique features of this series.
4. Detailed and Reasonable Classification. This series of books is divided into separate volumes based on different types (causes of action) of civil, criminal, and administrative cases. The first batch of civil case books has already been launched, totaling 43 volumes. Now, the second batch of criminal case books is 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. However, the legal issues involved remain important, and we have selectively included such cases, with the primary purpose of analyzing legal issues in the analysis. In the "Legal Application" section, we list the new legal basis. Please note this when using the books.
