CGCP: Surveys of Chinese Judges and more…

Over the summer, the CGCP has made great progress!  We are excited to launch two new products to complement our Guiding Cases AnalyticsTM:

1.  Guiding Cases SurveysTM invites judges, lawyers, law professors, and law students to participate in surveys that analyze how Guiding Cases released by China’s Supreme People’s Court are perceived and used by legal actors.  Results of these surveys and their comparisons will help show legal actors’ changing attitudes towards Guiding Cases, and identify areas for improvement.  The first issue covers surveys of Chinese judges conducted in 2013 and 2014.

 2.  Guiding Cases in PerspectiveTM tracks the development of Guiding Cases (“GCs”) and analyzes related jurisprudence.  It examines, among other issues, how the Supreme People’s Court has transformed selected original judgments into their respective GCs, and explores the treatment of the GCs in subsequent cases.  The first set covers GC9, its original judgments, two subsequent cases, and CGCP annotations.

In addition, we are honored to receive two commentaries contributed by Judge Huang Huifang and Dr. Kristie Thomas.

3.  HUANG Huifang, Taiwan’s Criminal Case System and the Development Direction of the Guiding Cases System in the People’s Republic of China, available at https://cgc.law.stanford.edu/commentaries/11-huang-huifang.

4.  Kristie Thomas, The (re)Birth of the Consumer Activist in China: The “Wang Hai Phenomenon” in the Light of Guiding Case No. 23https://cgc.law.stanford.edu/commentaries/12-kristie-thomas.
