🙌 We are delighted to introduce CCL's journal: China Law and Society Review. The China Law and Society Review (CLSR) is a distinguished and peer-reviewed academic journal, published by Brill in partnership with the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law. The journal is dedicated to providing cutting-edge original research and review articles that explore the evolution and operation of law and legal institutions in China. CLSR emphasises interdisciplinary socio-legal research, focusing on the practical application of law in China. Its articles cover a diverse range of topics, including legal consciousness, access to justice, rule of law, law and development, courts, legal professions, human rights, law enforcement and compliance, regulation and governance, ethics and corruption, central-local relations, and formal and informal institutions. Offering a thorough and authoritative examination of law and society in China, the CLSR appeals to scholars of Chinese law, politics, governance, society, business, and culture. It is an invaluable resource for public and private practitioners seeking deepen their understanding of China’s legal landscape. ⭐ Editors-in-chief include Prof Donald C. Clarke, Prof Mary Gallagher, Prof Sida Liu and Prof Susan Trevaskes. In 2024, CLSR featured four articles in two issues: 📕 'The Court as a Policy Information Discoverer: Evidence from China’s Emerging Industries' by Tianhao Chen, Wei Xu, and Jing Zhao. 📕 'Constructing Moral Governance in China Today: The Law‒Morality‒Self-Governance Connection' by Susan Trevaskes. 📗 'Made in China: Chinese Re-Conceptualization of the Ideal of Judicial Independence (1906–1937)' by Guanhong Chen. 📗 'Gains from Contractualization: Evidence from Labor Regulations on Chinese Workers' by Qin Gao and Candice Yandam Riviere. 🔗 For more information, please visit CLSR's official website: https://lnkd.in/ggxTQ7iS
