handle is hein.journals/etalr18 and id is 1 raw text is: POUND FOR POUND? ROSCOE POUND'S ADVENTURES IN CHINA AND QUESTIONS THEY POSE FOR SCHOLARS OF CONTEMPORARY CHINA WILLIAM P. ALFORD* AND XINGZHONG YU** ABSTRACT Roscoe Pound was one of the most celebrated figures in twentieth century American legal thought, having originated the field of sociological jurisprudence which presaged legal realism and having served for two decades as Dean of Harvard Law School. Less * Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of East Asian Legal Studies, Harvard Law School. ** Anthony W. and Lulu C. Wang Professor in Chinese Law, Cornell Law School. This paper is dedicated to R. Randle Edwards, the Walter Gellhorn Professor Emeritus at Columbia Law School. We thank Randy for bringing us together some 30 years ago. We like to think of ourselves as but one example of the many ways in which throughout his career Randy selflessly and with wisdom built bridges between China and the United States. The authors wish to acknowledge the superb research assistance of Ken Yang, a graduate of Beijing University and Harvard Law School now studying for a doctorate at the European University Institute, and Jessie Lin, a graduate of Tsinghua University now a 2L at Harvard Law School. They are also grateful to the Harvard Law School library and, in particular, Zhang Nongji, its excellent Chinese law librarian; Jiang Zhaoxin of Shandong University who generously shared research materials; Jedidiah Kroncke of the University of Hong Kong for his valuable comments on an earlier draft; Emma Johnson for her efforts at ensuring the paper's coherence; and the editors of the University of Pennsylvania Asian Law Review for their thoughtful editorial work. Previous versions of the paper were presented at the University of Michigan's Conference China's Legal Construction at 40 and at Harvard Law School's Comparative Law Workshop. Comments received were very helpful. We use the romanization by which individuals are most commonly known but, where helpful, also provide alternate or additional leading romanizations used and other names by which they were known. Views expressed and/or errors made are the responsibility of the authors. 1
