SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Jeremy Daum — Unchained Watchdog: How China's Supervision Commission Escapes Legal Bounds
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jeremy Daum\, Senior Research Scholar in Law and Senior Fellow\, Paul Tsai China Center\, Yale University \n\n\n\nDiscussant: Bill Alford\, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law; Director of East Asian Legal Studies Program\, Harvard Law School \n\n\n\n***PLEASE NOTE THE TIME AND VENUE FOR THIS LECTURE DIFFERS FROM OTHERS IN THIS SERIES*** \n\n\n\nIn 2018\, China amended its constitution to establish the Supervision System as a fourth branch of government focused on preventing and correcting abuses of state power. The reform was framed as shifting the ongoing anti-corruption campaign from the opaque\, extra-legal party discipline system to a more transparent and uniform legal process. The result\, however\, is sometimes less that the discipline system has been bound by law\, than that law has been bound to the discipline system. By examining the development\, duties\, and institutional relationships of the new supervision commissions\, Daum argues that this further integration of the Party and state risks the legitimacy of both. \n\n\n\nJeremy Daum is a Senior Research Scholar in Law and Senior Fellow at the Paul Tsai China Center. He is based in Beijing\, and has more than a decade of experience working in China on collaborative legal reform projects. His principal research focus is criminal procedure law\, with a particular emphasis on the protection of vulnerable populations such as juveniles and the mentally ill in the criminal justice system. He is also an authority on China’s “social credit system.” Jeremy has spoken about these issues at universities throughout China and the United States and has co-authored a book on U.S. capital punishment jurisprudence for Chinese readers. He is the founder and contributing editor of the collaborative translation and commentary site Chinalawtranslate.com\, dedicated to improving mutual understanding between legal professionals in China and abroad. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
