`In short, Law and Society in China is a remarkable work. Comprehensive in scope but with astonishing clarity, Professor Lo provides her readers with an historical work that provides an unsurpassed introduction to Chinese law and society.' -- John O. Haley, Washington University in St. Louis, US `A true tour de force! No other book covers the entire history of Chinese legal system from a distinctively law-and-society perspective. Everybody who wants to gain a deeper and broader understanding of the Chinese legal system which goes beyond a particular area of contemporary Chinese law should read this book.' -- Setsuo Miyazawa, Kobe University, Japan, and Immediate Past President, Asian Law & Society Association

'Seeking to capture the essence of nearly four thousand years of law in China in a single monograph is a daunting challenge. Dr. Vai Io Lo has succeeded admirably. She has produced a rich, insightful, and eminently readable account that traces the development of law, both formal and informal, and the reciprocal interrelationship between law and society in China, from the dynastic era to the present.' -- Daniel H. Foote, The University of Tokyo, Japan 'In short, Law and Society in China is a remarkable work.
