Product Description
Review
“This remarkable study breaks new ground to describe and analyze how Taiwan’s legal system worked at the community level. It will be an important reference for understanding how Taiwan society evolved under late imperial rule.”—China Quarterly
“With fascinating accounts of facts and law, Allee draws a tantalizing sketch of riches for future researchers.” —Journal of Asian History
Product Description
Based on case files, this study explores the social significance of the traditional Chinese legal system, and investigates how people utilized the courts during the course of criminal and civil disputes. The author emphasizes the ways in which law shaped social and economic change and how in turn the legal code and court system were adapted to local realities.
