Abstract

The repeal of Qi Yuling v. Chen Xiaoqi in 2008 seemed to bring an official end to China's judicialization of its constitution. The application of the Chinese constitution has since been banned from judicial practice, although legal disputes that entail constitutional arguments nevertheless continue to be argued before the courts. This article is based on a study of more than 900 court cases heard between 2014 and 2016 in which judges referred to the constitution for their legal reasoning. The cases were retrieved from the China Judgements Online database. In the article, I demonstrate the mechanism and effects of this low-key constitutional jurisprudence in three case groups depicting different understandings of the constitution at the local level.
