Foreign gunboats forced China, Japan and Korea to open to the
outside world under mid-19th century treaties which included
"extraterritoriality", rules forbidding local courts from trying
foreigners. Britain and the United States established courts in all
three countries and, as trade grew, the British Supreme Court for
China and Japan and the US Court for China. These courts - for over
100 years in China - dispensed British and US justice in the Far
East. "Extrality" had a huge impact, which continues to this day,
on how China and Japan view the world. This three-volume work tells
its history through the fascinating cast of characters both on and
before the bench and the many challenging issues the courts faced
including war, riots, rebellion, murder, infidelity and even a
failed hanging.
