Features: The Law Department of Xiamen University (now the School of Law) was established in 1926. It has gone through many hardships and vicissitudes since then. Since its revival in 1979, the School of Law has always attached great importance to improving the teaching quality of litigation law while closely monitoring and actively participating in the development of China's litigation legal system and the discipline of litigation law. In the past decade, the faculty of the School of Law have published and authored numerous monographs, textbooks, and academic papers on topics such as civil litigation, criminal litigation, administrative litigation, maritime litigation, arbitration systems, bankruptcy systems, comparative litigation systems between the mainland and Taiwan, and judicial reform, which have had a significant impact on the legal academia. In 1999, with approval from the State Council Academic Degrees Office, Xiamen University began enrolling master's students in litigation law. In May 2001, to meet the needs of litigation law teaching and research, elevate academic research standards, promote the development of the litigation law discipline, and contribute to the ongoing judicial reform in China, I initiated this book with a total of 23 chapters, including: an outline of the British Constitution, courts and jurisdiction, the legal profession, legal aid, juries, the evidence system, judicial precedents, ADR systems, arbitration systems, etc.
