        The three-volume set reviews and evaluates 27 typical civil cases in China with the aim of refining the interpretation and application of the law through case guidance.

        One of the most important functions of the Supreme Court in any jurisdiction is to provide guidance to unify the interpretation and application of the law, thereby ensuring judicial consistency and legal stability. China's case guidance system also strives for this ideal. This book attempts to serve as a reference source for case guidance, which will greatly benefit the construction of the case guidance system. The three volumes address three different concerns related to selected cases: 1) the application of legal relations methodology in civil judgments, 2) the importance of constitutive requirements in civil judgments, and 3) the resolution of conflicts between outdated laws and a progressive society.

        This set will appeal to scholars and students interested in China's civil litigation, civil law system and judicial reform, and comparative law.
