Description

The Procuracy, or Procuratorate, is a state bureau in China invested with the responsibilities of presenting the case in criminal trials against the suspects and of supervising the observance of the law by courts and police. The procuracy system in China has undergone tremendous changes since the late 1970s, marked by the revision of the PRC Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law that first took place in 1997. The speaker has worked in a local procuratorate in Shanghai for more than 17 years and she will offer a critical introduction about China’s procuracy system based on her personal experiences and observations. The Seminar will be conducted in Chinese Putonghua.
