The U.S. has 400,000 lawyers in a society of 200 million people.
China, a country with four times that population, has a mere 3,500
lawyers. How do the Chinese achieve law without lawyers? Victor Li,
one of the world's leading authorities on Chinese law, explores the
way the Chinese and U.S. systems have historically viewed law (and
still view it), and the way each system functions in everyday life
to shape conduct and control deviance. In a straightforward and
highly readable manner, the author examines how these highly
divergent societies operate. He writes about historical forces and
cultural values that are centuries old-and that are still critical
influences in shaping life in modern America and China. In
explaining the differences in the tradition and operation of law in
these two cultures, Li gives us both an invaluable understanding of
Chinese society today and his own appraisal of the strengths and
weaknesses of U.S. law, lawyers, and courts.
