Abstract
This study explores how state power in China affects the development of the legal system in a changing environment. Based on a survey of about 290 lawyers, it is found that Chinese lawyers are selective in taking on lawsuits. They are more willing to represent clients in litigations pertaining to economic and civil affairs, as opposed to administrative litigations and criminal cases. For one thing, lawyers receive high payment for lawsuits of an economic nature. For another, there are risks involved in taking on administrative litigations and criminal cases. Selective legal representation by lawyers suggests that legal development in China is unbalanced.
