We would like to thank Lily Liang for her excellent research assistance in data analysis and writing. The fieldwork benefited from the extraordinary work of 13 research assistants from China University of Political Science and Law, whose names have to be omitted for their protection. Earlier versions of the article were presented at the Law & Society Association 2010 Annual Meeting; the American Sociological Association 2010 Annual Meeting; the Chinese Politics Workshop and Politics, Culture, Society (PCS) Brownbag at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; the Workshop on Chinese Legal Reform at Yale Law School; and the East Asian Workshop at the University of Chicago. We received helpful comments from the participants, especially Paul Gewirtz, Chad Goldberg, Lucien Karpik, Leah Larson-Rabin, Chaeyoon Lim, Melanie Manion, Pamela Oliver, Jeffrey Prescott, and Erik Olin Wright.
