Critics Review
The coverage of the book is as comprehensive as it is lucid. Among the matters explained are: the historical background and judicial reforms under Xi Jinping; the role, work conditions, income etc. of judges and what influences they are subject to; the organisation of the legal profession; litigants’ views of the courts; alternative dispute resolution methods; and the functioning of the civil, criminal and administrative justice systems. An extensive bibliography and a Quick Guide bring up the rear of the work. * Journal of the Commonwealth Lawyers’ Association *
