Features: Over the past decade, with the deepening of China's reform and opening-up, socialist democracy and the rule of law have made significant progress. At the same time, the adjudication work of people's courts has also advanced greatly. In addition to criminal and civil trials, economic, administrative, and transportation adjudications have been gradually introduced. Annually, courts across the country handle approximately 3 million first-instance cases of various types. The adjudication procedures have become increasingly refined, and the quality of adjudication work has continuously improved. We believe it is necessary to systematically select and compile court adjudication cases to introduce the practices of Chinese adjudication to domestic and international audiences, showcasing the achievements of China's rule of law development. At the same time, it also provides valuable reference materials for Chinese judicial workers, legislative workers, as well as teaching and research personnel.
To this end, the National High-Level Judges Training Center and the Law School of Renmin University of China have jointly collaborated since 1992 to annually select and compile a comprehensive volume of adjudication cases, each including cases adjudicated in the previous year. The volumes are divided into four parts: Criminal Adjudication Cases, Civil Adjudication Cases, Economic Adjudication Cases, and Administrative Adjudication Cases. Due to the limited number of transportation adjudication cases, which are insufficient to form a separate volume, they are categorized and compiled into the Economic and Criminal volumes based on their case nature. The title of the book is "Comprehensive Review of Chinese Adjudication Cases."
During the compilation process of this book, full respect is given to the actual case facts, adjudication procedures, grounds for judgment, and outcomes, ensuring objectivity and authenticity. To facilitate readers in understanding the specific adjudication process, details such as the adjudicating bodies at each level, litigants, case resolution time, the claims of both parties, the facts of the case as determined, the evidence accepted, and the applicable legal provisions are included.
