The first reader on Asian law and society scholarship, this book
features reading selections from a wide range of Asian countries -
East, South, Southeast and Central Asia - along with original
commentaries by the three editors on the theoretical debates and
research methods pertinent to the discipline. Organized by themes
and topical areas, the reader enables scholars and students to
break out of country-specific silos to make theoretical connections
across national borders. It meets a growing demand for law and
society materials in institutions and universities in Asia and
around the world. It is written at a level accessible to advanced
undergraduate students and graduate students as well as experienced
researchers, and serves as a valuable teaching tool for courses
focused on Asian law and society in law schools, area studies,
history, religion, and social science fields such as sociology,
anthropology, politics, government, and criminal justice.

Criminal Defense in China studies empirically the everyday work and
political mobilization of defense lawyers in China. It builds upon
329 interviews across China, and other social science methods, to
investigate and analyze the interweaving of politics and practice
in five segments of the practicing criminal defense bar in China
from 2005 to 2015. This book is the first to examine everyday
criminal defense work in China as a political project. The authors
engage extensive scholarship on lawyers and political liberalism
across the world, from seventeenth-century Europe to late
twentieth-century Korea and Taiwan, drawing on theoretical
propositions from this body of theory to examine the strategies and
constraints of lawyer mobilization in China. The book brings a
fresh perspective through its focus on everyday work and ordinary
lawyering in an authoritarian context and raises searching
questions about law and lawyers, politics and society, in China's
uncertain future.
