Fu Hualing (傅华伶), legal scholar, describes the new characteristics and tactics of the weiquan, or rights defense, lawyers that emerged after the 2010-2011 crackdown, including shifts in rhetoric, the convergence of ordinary rights protection and weiquan lawyering, and the collective rise of professional public interest oriented lawyers. These developments serve as context for his discussion of three ways that public interest lawyers are building their social capital: bonding (organizing alternative groups and networks outside government controlled bar associations), bridging (public interest lawyers reaching out and building alliances with civil society groups), and linking (creating cooperative relationships and building trust with official institutions to influence government decision-making).
