Le séminaire  sera  animé par Nancy Park, qui a envoyé le résumé suivant:  The last seminar of the year examines the laws relating to official misconduct, with a specific focus on the institutional channels of impeachment. As set forth in Art. 6. Zhiguan you fan, officials could not be arrested, investigated, or sentenced without first being impeached. The details of the impeachment process are not explained in the Code, but appear in the Da-Qing huidian, juan 11; the Da-Qing huidian shili, juan 78-81; and the Disciplinary Sanctionsof the Six Boards, juan 4. There were two main types of impeachment, as described in Raymond Chu and William Saywell, Career Patterns in the Ch’ing Dynasty.which was imposed on officials who were deemed unfit during the triennial evaluation of capital and provincial officials, as described in Philip Kuhn’s Soulstealers. The second was “ad hoc impeachment” (tecan), which could be initiated at any time. Regulations pertaining to gubernatorial ad hoc impeachment appear among the Regulations of the Six Boards and are translated in Chu and Saywell. After discussing the general procedures for impeachment, we will examine several documents of impeachment, which could take the form of a palace memorial or a routine memorial.
