Features: During the compilation of this book, full respect was given to the actual case facts, trial process, grounds for judgment, and outcomes, ensuring objectivity and authenticity. To facilitate readers' understanding of the specific trial process, details such as the trial bodies at each level, parties involved in the lawsuit, time of case resolution, claims of both the prosecution and defense, identified case facts, evidence accepted, and applicable legal provisions were included. To help readers better understand the reasons for legal application and relevant legal theories, the editors provided explanations and commented on shortcomings in the judgments. Some versions also included brief legal term explanations in appendices. Over the past decade, with the deepening of China's reform and opening-up, socialist democracy and legal system construction have made significant progress. At the same time, the trial work of people's courts has also advanced greatly. In addition to criminal and civil trials, economic, administrative, and transportation trials have been gradually conducted. Annually, courts across the country handle approximately 3 million first-instance cases of various types. Trial procedures have become increasingly refined, and the quality of trial work has continuously improved. We believe it is necessary to systematically select and compile court trial cases to introduce China's trial practices to domestic and international audiences, showcasing achievements in China's legal system construction. At the same time, this also provides valuable reference materials for Chinese judicial workers, legislative workers, as well as teaching and research personnel. For this purpose, the National High-Level Judges Training Center and the Law School of Renmin University of China have jointly collaborated since 1992 to annually select and compile a comprehensive trial case collection, each volume covering cases resolved in the previous year. The collection is divided into four volumes: Criminal Trial Cases, Civil Trial Cases, Economic Trial Cases, and Administrative Trial Cases. Due to the limited number of transportation trial cases, which are insufficient to form an independent volume, they are categorized and included in the Economic and Criminal volumes based on case nature. The title of the book is "Comprehensive Review of Chinese Trial Cases."
