The Center’s library collection is open to public

In the fall 2014, the China Law Center collection has been established as a separate section at the Kaisa-talo library in Helsinki. Ms. Liu Ying, a student in the International Business Law master program at the Faculty of Law (University of Helsinki), said that this collection has been already very helpful in her studies. As she is undertaking a comparative research on the identification of the relevant market in EU and Chinese competition law, she has found relevant textbooks that helped her to understand the legal background for her master thesis. She was surprised to find in Finland books that she used for her law studies in China and she would have never imagine that she could have such an easy access to Chinese legal materials thousands of kilometers away from home. Additionally, ‘the collection counts not only textbooks written by leading Chinese professors, but there is also the most famous Chinese legal novel Mutui Zhengyi’ Ms. Liu said.

Ms. Liu Ying often consults the China Law Center collection while working on her master thesis.

The collection is based on book donations made by CASS Institute of Law and the CASS Law Library as well as Peking University Law School and Fudan University Law School. It offers about 400 titles on specific fields of Chinese law as well as contributions on the methodology of comparative legal research, in both Chinese and English. The books can be consulted only at the Kaisa-talo library, but researchers and students from Member Institutions can freely request inter-library loans.  As we seek to keep the collection growing we regularly exchange materials with partners in China. We invite you therefore to browse the Helka catalogue by using the collection call number “hc 4. krs oikeustiede china law center collection” to find the available titles.
