Abstract

This is my twenty-first visit to China to attend conferences, do lectures or teach classes. Since my first invitation to visit China fifteen years ago, I have always been deeply honored to be invited whether to address a national conference such as this or do lectures to students and faculties at the approximately 30 universities that I have been privileged to visit.

The earliest recognition of this point to my knowledge is Benedict D. Spinoza, Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect, 1677, par. 17: “By hearsay alone I know the date of my birth, who my parents were, and things of that sort, which I have never doubted.”.

Ronald J. Allen, Closing Remarks, 4th International Conference on Evidence Law and Forensic Science (Beijing, China; July 20–21, 2013). I elaborated on this theme in Ronald J. Allen, “The Perils of Comparative Law Scholarship Research”, published in Spanish as Los Peligros De Investigacion En Derecho Comparado, in Jordi Ferrer Beltran and Carmen Vazquez (eds.), Debatiendo con Taruffo, Marcial Pons, 2016, p. 21.

A blatant example of this is the nonsense written concerning the asserted superiority of the German civil justice system, prior to the changes made to it that began to approximate adversarial systems. See Allen et al. (1988), Allen (1988).

Many of the points in this address are discussed in the various essays in Allen (2014).
