This collection of articles provides an impressive one-stop shop for readers who want a landscape portrait of law in East Asia in the early twenty-first century. The breadth of coverage makes the task of a reviewer difficult, as each contribution stands on its own as a piece of scholarship about a particular topic in a particular place. Nevertheless, read together, the articles do achieve a sense of unity as a compendium of themes and trends in the region’s legal systems. Dan Rosen, Asian Journal of Law and Society 3,2 (2016)
