Preparation of this article is supported by a GRF grant from the Hong Kong Government. An earlier version of this article was presented at a conference at Hong Kong University in August 2011, and a seminar at Columbia Law School on October 23, 2011. I benefits from comments from the participants of the events, the anonymous reviewers and editors of the Review, and Jerome Cohen, Hualing Fu, Benjamin Liebman, Elizabeth Lynch, Randall Peerenboom, Yang Su, and Frank Upham. For the Chinese judges who candidly shared their views with me, I am most grateful.
