For many years now I have been a happy member of the excellent and venerable ChinaLaw ListServe. The ListServe is expertly run by Donald Clarke, a law professor at George Washington University and the force behind the seminal China Law Prof Blog.
The ListServ has been in existence since 2004 and it has nearly 1,400 subscribers, including a who’s who of China law professors. It definitely tilts more towards the academic side of China law as opposed to the practical side.
I like it because it just works.
It works if you want to know whether anyone else knows a China case that has held such and such and it works if you want to get some high level opinions on the history of China’s courts relying on precedent. Perhaps most importantly, it also works as a very helpful forum to get answers to serious China law questions. It also works because it is 99.99% spam free as Don wields an iron fist against anyone who might even think of abusing the process.
If you want to participate in or even just watch high level discussions of Chinese law, I urge you to check it out.
