		<title>chongqing defense lawyer gets 1 1/2 years in prison</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, looks like Li Zhuang got 1 and 1/2 years after his appeal.  (see my original post about defense lawyer tactics 
here)  I suppose that&#8217;s better than 2 and 1/2 years, but I am still left wondering why in the world he even got a prison sentence.  (again, see my original post)

		<title>examining china&#8217;s expert defense of the uk execution</title>

in an article entitled &#8220;Experts defend China&#8217;s execution of British drug smuggler&#8221;.  I&#8217;m actually glad they did&#8211;it makes it a lot easier to dissect.  And for the poor professors (Mingliang Wang and Jinzhan Xue), I&#8217;m sorry, you lose [...]]]></description>

article, &#8220;China executes British citizen for drug smuggling&#8221;.  I normally don&#8217;t try to weigh in and blatantly criticize the Chinese justice system despite certain corrupt documented incidents and obvious issues because it&#8217;s been improving over the years, and I have been hopeful that the rule of law has a chance [...]]]></description>

		<title>standard defense lawyer tactics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, there is a crackdown on corrupt officials and organized crime in Chongqing.  Others caught up in the sting?  Defense lawyers.  It&#8217;s like the tuna nets that end up picking up a few dolphins along the way.  The only problem is this: the defense lawyer here is just doing his job. [...]]]></description>

		<title>lack of brand innovation in china?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Was reading China Law Blog&#8217;s treatment of Chinese branding and trademarks 
here where Dan Harris takes issue with a Newsweek 
article, which states in part:

article in Legal Week about Weil Gotshal poaching 2 corporate partners in Hong Kong.  Seems like the perfect time to pick up some more partner level attorneys: when the economy is down, but supposedly getting better.  Article after the jump.
