Features: The appellate system studied in this book is one of the important systems in the Civil Procedure Law. It not only involves the basic theories of procedural law but is also closely related to various specific procedural systems. It can be said that the realization of judicial fairness and efficiency is inseparable from the reform and improvement of the appellate system. Taking fairness and efficiency as the basic value orientation for designing the ideal civil appellate system, this book explores the general principles, structure, and functions of the civil appellate system. Against the backdrop of the global "access to justice" movement and judicial reform, it analyzes the shortcomings and deep-seated causes of China's civil appellate system. Based on domestic practices and drawing on foreign experiences, it constructs China's future civil appellate system from both theoretical and institutional perspectives, which is the basic approach of this book's research and writing. The book provides a comprehensive discussion and analysis of the civil appellate system, including its principles, structure, operational mechanisms, and domestic and international institutional reforms, and proposes some constructive suggestions for its restructuring.
