摘要
Matthew Sommer will introduce original legal case records from the local and central courts of the Qing dynasty. Sample documents from Professor Sommer’s research will be distributed in advance. After a brief introduction, we will read the sample documents and discuss them together. Participants may read the documents in advance if they have time, but this is not required.
