The present course brings forward an introduction to civil law. It covers topics from basic theories of civil law to issues of practical relevance, and offers an overview of the General Provisions of the PRC Civil Code. The course focuses on the basic principles, party to the civil legal relation, legal relations, legal acts, statute of limitations and other theoretical priorities and difficulties. With this course, it is hoped that students can not only grasp a more comprehensive understanding of the general topics of civil law, but also establish a solid foundation for other sectoral laws in relation to civil law.
