Yesterday, I was searching for a Chinese regulation on CERs and I was not having much success. I headed downstairs to have a chat with our library's new, young international research librarian about suggestions for Chinese law sources. It just so happened she had such a suggestion.
She did her post-JD law librarian work at the University of Washington's Marian Gould Gallagher Law Library. UW's East Asian Law Department began in the 1930s with a "substantial donation of books by the Japanese Ministry of Justice." It has grown into one of the largest collections of East Asian Law materials in the United States. UW has a page devoted to Chinese Legal Research. Many of the reference materials that the page directs users to are physically located at UW, but there are several links to web resources. There are also helpful descriptions about holes in Chinese legal research. Our librarian suggested that if I ever had any questions, I should contact Bill McCloy, the director of UW's Chinese Legal Research. His contact info is on the pages above. I'm not sure how game he is for helping you curmudgeonly lawyers, but he is certainly game for helping us fresh faced students of the law.
