520 1 |a "This is the first book in English on the Chinese judicial system and its operations in the Republican era, filling a large gap in the scholarship on modern China, Chinese law, Chinese legal history, and comparative law. Author Xiaoqun Xu offers a richly textured analysis of how judicial reform initiatives were envisioned and pursued by the central government from 1901 through 1937, how the various initiatives were - or failed to be - implemented at the provincial and county levels, and how the reform impacted judicial practices and power relationships in local society." "The book sheds new light on the reach of the Chinese state and on the complex interactions between the judicial field and administrative field within the state system, and between them and local society. It is in this context that Trial of Modernity illuminates what judicial modernity actually meant for the Chinese state and society and why irregularities, abuses, corruption, and informal practices continued in spite of the reform. Thus, Xu's account provides a timely and significant point of reference for understanding the legal-judicial reform in post-Mao China."--Jacket.
