The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States provides a wide-ranging exploration of U.S. legal feminism, analyzing both prominent brands of feminist legal theory and key feminist social movements. The Handbook's chapters examine the influence that legal feminism has exerted on law, from the creation of feminist claims such as sexual harassment and gender equity in sports to new understandings of consent, motherhood, and reproductive justice. Contributions from leading feminist thinkers dissect the backlash to feminism and compare feminism to adjacent discourses including queer theory and masculinities theory. The Handbook is also forward-looking insofar as it imagines how legal feminism will affect emerging areas like digital privacy, immigration law, and environmental law. Thanks to its expansive scope and highly-regarded team of editors and contributors, The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States will be an essential source for scholars and students working in a range of interconnected fields.

This book presents a systematic empirical study of contemporary China's litigation case volume, judges’ workload, and how courts attempt to alleviate the problem of “high caseloads with insufficient personnel” through enhanced management practices. By comparing caseloads and judge numbers across Chinese, U.S., and Japanese court systems, it shows that contemporary Chinese courts are also compelled to confront the “case-judge imbalance.” Using nationwide survey data, the book indicates that Chinese judges bear an exceptionally heavy workload and significant stress, partly due to non-adjudicative work they are required to perform. The book describes how Chinese courts have employed trial management techniques to mitigate this problem. It also demonstrates how digital infrastructure supports scientific court management. The book analyzes the characteristics of Chinese court management and offers policy suggestions to address the global challenges of the case-judge imbalance and judicial capacity crisis. Scholars of court management, comparative judicial systems, and those interested in China studies will find the book appealing.
