Publisher's Synopsis

For close to 100 years, following the first opium war in 1843, Britain, the US and other treaty powers ran their own legal systems in China under the rule of Extraterritoriality. Similar courts operated in Japan for over 40 years. This book tells the story of Extraterritoriality, the courts and the cases, judges and lawyers, criminals and victims, and offers thoughts on how it changed the history of East Asia.
