Daniel Bussel, Donald Clarke, Jerome Cohen, Stanley Lubman, Robert Morgan, Arthur Rosett, Richard Steinberg and Calla Wiemer provided valuable comments and input at various stages. Joseph Studwell was kind enough to invite me to speak at a conference in Beijing. Patrick Powers and the U.S.-China Business Council graciously agreed to circulate my survey to the Council's membership. Special thanks to the UCLA Law School Empirical Research Group and especially Joseph Doherty for his patient assistance in analyzing the data. I am also indebted to my research assistants in the U.S., Chen Chiling, Li Guang and Samuel Goldman. Most of all, I would like to thank all of the lawyers, business persons and judges who responded to my survey and agreed to be interviewed. Although they are too numerous to list here, nothing could have been done without them. Last but in many ways first, this project was made possible by a generous grant from the Smith Richardson Foundation, with additional funding provided by the UCLA School of Law, the UCLA Academic Senate, and the International Studies and Overseas Programs Search for other works by this author on: Oxford Academic Google Scholar The American Journal of Comparative Law, Volume 49, Issue 2, Spring 2001, Pages 249–328, https://doi.org/10.2307/840813 Published: 01 April 2001
