the black China hand

Do China’s courts only answer to the Communist Party? Or are they in fact responsive to the Chinese people? How do Chinese courts respond to increasing populist protests? What is holding back Chinese courts from becoming independent? Can China’s experiences with corporate legal disputes serve as a guide to other legal claims? Webcast of the discussion will be posted on-line by: Monday, February 23, 2009. Please return to the CCS blog that day for link to program.

Sounds interesting and will try to be present online when it all goes down.
