Abstract
This presentation delineates the shape of the case law system in China within a wider picture of judicial reforms led by the Supreme People’s Court, the highest court in China. It explores several fundamental issues underlying the construction of such a system and takes a close look at some most important cases, particularly cases decided, edited or approved by the Supreme People’s Court. In doing so the presentation seeks to develop essential understanding of both past achievements and present or future challenges associated with the case law system..
