"A work of the highest caliber. A must-read for anyone who is not
satisfied with either romanticism or negative propaganda and wants
a realistic picture of life in old Tibet."—Robert A. F. Thurman
"Rebecca French has written one of the two best books of the last
twenty years on the legal cultures and legal history of Asia. . . .
French will surely be the last anthropologist to have studied an
undiluted, pre-modern, literate legal system by talking to its
practitioners."—Andrew Huxley, Yale Law Journal
