Features: Over the past decade, with the deepening of China's reform and opening-up, socialist democracy and the rule of law have made significant progress. At the same time, the adjudication work of the people's courts has also advanced greatly. In addition to criminal and civil trials, economic, administrative, and transportation adjudications have been gradually introduced. Annually, courts across the country handle approximately 3 million first-instance cases of various types. The trial procedures have become increasingly refined, and the quality of adjudication work has continuously improved. We believe it is necessary to systematically select and compile court adjudication cases to introduce China's judicial practices to domestic and international audiences, showcasing the achievements of China's rule of law development. At the same time, it also provides valuable reference materials for judicial workers, legislative workers, as well as teaching and research personnel in China.
To this end, 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 collection of adjudication cases, including cases concluded in the previous year. Each volume is divided into four parts: Criminal Adjudication Cases, Civil Adjudication Cases, Economic Adjudication Cases, and Administrative Adjudication Cases. Due to the limited number of transportation adjudication cases, which are insufficient to form an independent volume, they have been categorized and included in the Economic and Criminal volumes based on their nature. The book is titled Comprehensive Review of Chinese Adjudication Cases.
During the compilation process, the book fully respects the actual case facts, adjudication procedures, grounds for judgments, and outcomes, ensuring objectivity and authenticity. To facilitate readers in understanding the specific adjudication process, it includes details such as the adjudicating bodies at each level, parties involved in the lawsuit, the time of case conclusion, the claims and defenses of both sides, the identified case facts, evidence submitted, and applicable legal provisions.
To help readers better understand the reasons for legal application and the relevant legal theories involved, the compilers have provided explanations. Additionally, they have commented on any shortcomings in the judgments. Some versions also include appendices with brief explanations of necessary legal terms.
