Book synopsis

Foreign gunboats forced China, Japan and Korea to open to the outside world under mid-19th century treaties which included extraterritoriality, rules forbidding local courts from trying foreigners. This three-volume work tells its history through the fascinating cast of characters both on and before the bench and the many challenging issues the courts faced including war, riots, rebellion, murder, infidelity and even a failed hanging.
