Abstract
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has begun to use sanctions against people who speak out against its policies, including even lawyers in their ordinary work representing the interests of their clients. This paper explores the deleterious impact such sanctions can have on the entire legal profession, the broader community putatively served by the profession, and the rule of law.
