The Peking University Legal Encyclopedia is vast in scale, comprehensive in disciplines, complete in system, rich in knowledge and information, and covers a wide range. It is highly academic, accommodating the theories of renowned scholars, drawing on diverse strengths, and providing thorough, profound, and accurate explanations. The editorial style incorporates the strengths of both encyclopedias and general dictionaries, with relatively complete retrieval methods: each volume includes a subject classification index for entries, a Pinyin index for entries, and a stroke index for Chinese characters for entries.
