                            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

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.
