Wide Angle "The People's Court"
Judge Li and colleagues at Gongxian's People's Court This episode takes viewers inside the courtrooms and law schools of China to provide a character-driven look at China's rapidly growing legal system. The program follows itinerant judges, law students and ordinary Chinese seeking justice as the country tackles the massive task of establishing a legal framework for its new market economy. Poised to dominate the global economy, yet facing mounting domestic and international pressure for a fairer system of legal redress, China is racing to reshape the rules of society - with employment laws and property rights and thousands of newly trained lawyers. China's fledgling experiment to introduce the western concept of "rule of law" within a system still firmly controlled by the Communist Party has global stakes.
