about us
Lawinfochina.com strives to give you access to English-language versions of all the relevant documents for your legal needs in China. Our flagship Laws & Regulations and Cases databases as well as our Legal News and Legal Forum databases provide you with full-text access to a huge array of legal information tailored specifically to the needs of foreigners and foreign organizations working in China. To further supplement these resources, our Gazettes and Law Journals databases allow you to view the complete table of contents of the official gazettes of various government entities as well as a variety of Chinese legal journals. If these resources are not enough, we offer translation services as well as a broad array of Chinese-language services.
There are more notes and links in the Chinese text, but we only provide English translations for the main contents of the Chinese text, so you may find that there are no English translations for the additional notes and links in the Chinese text. Please pay attention to this when you use our database.
Laws & Regulations
Organized into 71 legal subjects ranging from family law to technology contracts, the Laws & Regulations database is a broad selection of China's most important national and local laws and regulations as well as judicial interpretations issued by the Supreme People's Court. Ever-expanding since its beginning in 1985, the databases today contain well over 5000 full-text English translations of Chinese legislation and, as always, the Chinese-language originals are available at no extra charge.
Our Laws & Regulations database is updated rapidly, generally in a matter of days from the promulgation of a new legal document. The Center for Legal Information at Peking University has the most comprehensive and efficient nationwide network for accumulating new promulgations and they provide us with an extensive list of the newest legal documents everyday. From this list, we select the laws most relevant to our clientele and have the experts at the Institute for Legal Translation Studies of Peking University translate them. They are then published on our website as soon as the translation is complete.
Laws & Regulations includes thousands of Chinese laws, regulations, rules, judicial interpretations, local regulations, and local rules in sixty-three legal areas. Its current collections include the following:
- All basic laws adopted by the National People's Congress (NPC) and NPC Standing Committee from 1949 to the present;
- All the administrative regulations promulgated by the State Council from 1949 to the present;
- Most of the important administrative rules or orders promulgated or approved by different departments under the State Council and independent agencies such as Securities Regulatory Commission;
- Important judicial interpretations that substantially influence legal practices and which are recognized as an indispensable part of original Chinese laws and regulations; and
- Important local regulations and rules that impact foreign-related activities from various municipalities including those directly under the central government, the provinces, autonomous regions, special economic zones and some provincial capitals.
The database is searchable in both English and Chinese by title or full-text keyword, subject, promulgator, promulgation date, effective date and any combination thereof.
Cases
The Cases database contains upwards of 500 English translations of typical judicial decisions approved and published by the Supreme People's Court or the Supreme People's Procuratorate in the areas of administrative disputes, civil disputes, criminal offences, economic disputes, intellectual property law and maritime disputes. Each case is an editorially-enhanced document that contains the case background, facts, parties, trial and appellate court procedure, reasoning and law application, and of course the court decision. Cases are chosen to reflect both current and predicted future trends in Chinese legal practice.
