Best comparative law books according to redditors

It's extremely difficult to get accurate numbers and there is little political interest in finding out. Oregon State authorities sat on 5,000 untested rape kits until last year. Other states still have backlogs.

...And there is no reason to believe Saudi Arabia's officially reported statistics are accurate at all. See:

1. Sam Souryal's The Religionization of a Society: The Continuing Application of Shariah Law in Saudi Arabia
   
   
2. Badr El-Din Ali's Islamic Law And Crime: The Case Of Saudi Arabia
   
   
3. As Comparative Criminal Justice Systems explains: "crime is often under-reported in Saudi crime statistics because the Shari'a promotes informal and nonlegalistic responses to criminal behavior."

Haha, there's actually a few things I'd like to say with regards to your question:

First, the Ace Attorney series, is one of my favorite set of games out there. Period. I love the logic puzzles, I love the characters, I love the stories. All of it's great, and I hope Capcom never stops making them.

Second, Ace Attorney actually slightly inspired my decision to go into law (or rather re-affirmed it?). Like, I always wanted to be a lawyer, but playing Ace Attorney as Nick, and figuring out something extremely difficult to help win a case was just so satisfying that it helped me make sure I knew I was going down the right path. Obviously, it's not one-to-one, but that feeling of creatively figuring things out and triumphing as a result still comes out. For example, I had an oral argument just yesterday, and understanding the cases such that I could explain it clearly beforehand and then doing so in my argument felt like I could win in a real-life scenario and gave me the same sense of satisfaction as say saving Edgeworth in the original game.

Finally, in terms of the "accuracy" of Ace Attorney compared to real life.... well, apparently it kind of turns out that Ace Attorney's legal system is some-what based on the Japanese legal system of the late 1990's. I can confirm some of the aspects of the game are true this from learning about their legal system in my spare time (for example, there is no jury over there so the Judge is the fact-finder; it's an inquisitional system and not an adversarial system which means the judge is a neutral third party that asks the witness questions; they are a civil-law system and not a common-law system which means the lawyers argue against one another based on recent factual findings). Some things I can't confirm yet include: (1) does Japan not recognize justifiable self defense; (2) how are their rules of evidence and discovery different (i.e. why is Phoenix allowed to just pick up a bullet that is vital evidence and carry it around); (3) what other rules of evidence are different involving examination (can a lawyer really badger the witness on the stand as much as they want); (4) are cases really super expedited (I'm sure things aren't settled in 3 days, but do they try to push them through as fast as possible); (5) miscellaneous - what other differences are there in terms of law between here and there.

To be honest, I actually bought a book to try and answer all those questions (and cuz my dream is to eventually practice here and there in patent law).... I just haven't gotten around to read it yet lol.

There's a nutshell about the legal system of PRC that's pretty useful.

-- there's an old edition that's about half the price, but things are changing so rapidly in PRC that even this version is slightly out of date with its information.

This one is also helpful if you can track it down:
