Features: The People's Court is a television program jointly organized by the General Office of the Supreme People's Court and the Economic Channel of China Central Television (CCTV). The program aims to "speak through cases and promote the standardized development of China's market economy." All cases broadcast have been reviewed and recommended by the Supreme People's Court, featuring diverse and typical types. Since its launch in 2003, it has received widespread praise from audiences and legal professionals. In response to the requests of audiences and legal professionals, the General Office of the Supreme People's Court and the Economic Channel of CCTV have compiled the program into a series of books—Economy and Law: Explaining Laws through Cases. The book selects a variety of typical civil cases and is divided into four parts: Contract Disputes; Disputes over Ownership, Tort, Unjust Enrichment, and Unjustified Management; Marriage and Family Disputes; and Special Procedure Cases, totaling 54 categories, along with some administrative and criminal cases. Each case includes a summary of the facts, statements from the plaintiff and defendant, defense opinions from the lawyers of both sides, the court's judgment, as well as comments from legal experts and the presiding judge, along with relevant legal provisions. The selected cases feature intense conflicts and strong storytelling, with clear legal reasoning in judgments, making them suitable for accurate legal education. They serve as an excellent teaching material for popularizing legal knowledge and legal education. Many of the classic cases from judicial practice provide valuable guidance and reference for judges and legal professionals at all levels of the courts.
