Introducing

Harvard Studies in East Asian Law

Jerome Alan Cohen,

Chairman of the Editorial Committee

Law, of one kind or another, is invoked in nearly all of today’s complex international relationships. Yet ideas and uses of law are markedly different in East and West. This infinitely important new series will make available for the first time to American statesmen, students, lawyers, social scientists, and historians, reliable information on the traditions, theoretical bases, and workings of East Asian law.

The first two volumes are:

LAW IN IMPERIAL CHINA

Exemplified by 190 Ch’ing Dynasty Cases (Translated from the Hsing-an hui-lan)

With Historical, Social, and Juridical Commentaries By Derk Bodde and Clarence Morris The continuity and authority of the traditional Chinese codes of written laws made them unrivaled instruments for measuring precisely, dynasty by dynasty, the shifting configurations of Chinese social and political values. This is the first comprehensive picture, for western readers, of the basic concepts and the functioning of Imperial Chinese law. Seven appendices; bibliography; glossary. $17.50

THE CRIMINAL PROCESS IN THE PEOPLE’S REPURLIC OF CHINA 1949-1963: An Introduction

By Jerome Alan Cohen

Mr. Cohen has pieced together a mass of data drawn from many sources to provide the first real insight the West has had into the criminal process in China today.

He begins with an overview of what he calls China’s “legal experiment” from 1949 through 1963, then systematically presents primary source material, interspersed with his own comments, questions, and notes. An invaluable English-Chinese glossary of institutional and legal terms is included. $15.00

Standing order inquiries, and requests to receive information on new volumes as announced, are invited.
