Features: This textbook selects the civil litigation systems of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, and Japan as its core content. This is primarily because the United Kingdom and the United States are typical representatives of the common law system, especially the recent civil judicial reforms in the United Kingdom and the implementation of the Civil Procedure Rules starting in 1999, which have attracted global attention. France and Germany are major representatives of the civil law system and the sources of its two branches. While Japan belongs to the civil law system, it has incorporated many practices of common law civil litigation, making it unique. The entire book is organized as a system for each country, divided into five chapters. Each chapter includes: the development of civil procedure law, the court system, and legal sources; civil procedure jurisdiction; civil procedure parties; the evidence system; first-instance procedures; appellate procedures; retrial procedures and some special procedures.
