Features: The United States is one of the most legally developed countries in the world. The experience of its more than two centuries of legal development holds undeniable value for China as a reference. Since the reform and opening-up, exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States have continuously strengthened, making it a pressing and practical need for the Chinese people to understand U.S. law. However, U.S. law is vast, profound, and extensive. It includes common law inherited from Britain, which has been modified and Americanized, as well as statutes continuously formulated alongside its social development. There are both nationally unified federal laws and state laws that vary from state to state. The conflicts and coordination among these laws make the U.S. legal system complex, diverse, multi-dimensional, and constantly evolving. Therefore, truly understanding and mastering U.S. law is not an easy task even for Americans, and it is even more challenging for ordinary Chinese readers living in different linguistic, cultural, and institutional backgrounds. The editing and publication of this series of books by our organization is precisely aimed at digesting and understanding the intricate U.S. legal system, presenting it to a broad Chinese readership in an accessible and profound manner, with the hope of assisting those engaged in legal education, legislation, judicial policy research, legal practice, and individuals from various industries who are interested in understanding the U.S. legal system.
