It does so by proceeding not from abstract legal texts but from the realities of legal practice. Whatever the declared intent of a law, it must in actual application adapt to social realities. It is the two dimensions of representation and practice, and law and society, that together make up the entirety of a legal system. The assembled articles by the editors and a new generation of Chinese scholars illustrate a new \"historical-social jurisprudence,\" and explore the possible conceptual underpinnings of a modern Chinese legal system that would both accommodate and integrate the unavoidable paradoxes of contemporary China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890672746647,"sku":"9789004276437","price":27485.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004276437.webp?v=1781180877","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-history-and-theory-of-legal-practice-in-china-toward-a-historical-social-jurisprudence-9789004276437","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
