Be a good respondent on the new judicial journey
Zhang Jing, clerk of the General Office of Jiangnan Court
In the surging river of history, our new China has crossed mountains and deep valleys, experienced twists and turns, but the direction of rushing forward has always remained the same. With a flick of our fingers, we ushered in the 75th anniversary of the birth of the motherland, looking back on the magnificent 75 years, under the strong leadership of the party, the judicial process of the republic is loud! As a grassroots court person struggling in the new era, while feeling excited about the achievements of the rule of law construction in New China, he also always inspires himself to never forget his original intention and move forward bravely in the new journey of justice.
2024 is my 9th year of working in the Jiangnan District People's Court of Nanning City. As a judicial administrator, I particularly like the words "there is light in the law", because even if the responsibilities are different, as long as everyone in the court practices "there is light in the law", the light gathered will surely illuminate the edifice of the rule of law. At the National Conference of Presidents of High People's Courts held on January 14 this year, President Zhang Jun of the Supreme People's Court stressed the need to modernize trial work to support and serve Chinese-style modernization. Standing at a higher starting point, how to do a good job of "persisting in serving the overall situation and administering justice for the people"? It's a huge proposition, and I don't know where to start. But after thinking about it, I seem to have gotten my own answers from the day-to-day trial execution work, and from the simple and enthusiastic colleagues around me—over the years, I have seen the careful thinking and discernment in the trial, the judicial service in the palm of my hand, the thousands of miles on the circuit, and the interpretation of the law and reasoning in the fields...... These tasks seem to be routine, but they do not prevent them from shining with the "light of justice". So, my answer became clearer.
To be a good respondent on the new judicial journey, we are full of strength
The vitality of the law lies in its implementation. What are the current bottlenecks that restrict the quality and efficiency of implementation? How to solve the problem in a targeted manner and promote the high-quality development of implementation work? This year's National Conference of Presidents of High Courts has made special arrangements for key work in the field of enforcement at present and in the coming period. Yes, the Jiangnan District People's Court, where I work, has made a lot of efforts to this end: in 2023, 12,369 enforcement cases will be closed in the whole court, with an enforcement amount of 579 million yuan in place, and 2,444 cases handled by enforcement judges per capita, the online judicial auction system will be improved, with a transaction amount of more than 115 million yuan, 1,178 judgment defaulters will be publicly exposed, and 11,466 people will be restricted from high consumption...... In addition, we have carried out two special actions related to construction machinery around the "enterprise dredging" and the economic characteristics of the jurisdiction, explored the "lifting of the consumption order within a time limit", and used credit restoration and other methods to truly implement goodwill and civilized implementation, and insisted on optimizing the business environment in the jurisdiction under the rule of law. Behind the achievements, I also see the "5+2, white and black" work of the court people day after day. On May 16, 2018, the 56-year-old judge "Brother Yong" of our court executive bureau fell to work, and he has handled more than 3,000 cases of various preservation and enforcement cases in the court for nearly 40 years! Even though he has left, he is still like a beam of light in the quiet night sky, expressing the glory of the law and giving us strength - now in the Jiangnan District Court, I see that more and more applicants' rights and interests have been fulfilled, more and more departments have formed a strong joint force to solve the difficulty of enforcement, and more and more new technologies have made the enforcement more sunny and efficient.
We are full of courage to be the respondents of the new judicial journey
As court officers and policemen, we must always bear in mind that the people's courts have important responsibilities in safeguarding national security and social stability, and we must integrate the overall national security concept into all aspects of trial work, and be sensitive to security factors, implement security requirements, and prevent security risks in handling all kinds of cases. In February 2017, the "Implementation Opinions on Comprehensively Advancing the Trial-Centered Reform of the Criminal Procedure System" was released, and a reform of the criminal procedure system focusing on "preventing unjust, false and wrongly decided cases", "preventing court trials from becoming mere formalities" and "giving play to the court's role as gatekeepers" has been steadily rolled out. As a pilot court in the whole region, we have a deeper understanding - 75 pre-trial conferences were held, witnesses appeared in court 22 times, and experts and investigators appeared in court 16 times, and various indicators were significantly improved. We have also set up a special witness testimony room and opened a dedicated channel for witnesses. At the same time, for key witnesses who are at risk of testifying or who are unwilling to face the defendant directly, the whole region is the first to purchase, install and activate a witness appearance protection system, which enables the witness room and the criminal court to achieve all-round and multi-angle networking. In the process of writing a new chapter in judicial reform, we strive to create high-quality cases, use "small cases" to explain the "big truth", so that the people can truly feel that fairness and justice are around them.
In addition, there is another criminal case that impresses me deeply - Shen and 26 others are suspected of underworld criminal organization crimes, and Chen is suspected of accepting bribes and harboring and conniving underworld criminal organization crimes, which is also the first batch of criminal syndicate and related related cases since the establishment of our Jiangnan District Court. My colleague, Criminal Judge Zhang Xianyuan, as the main undertaker, worked overtime with his colleagues throughout the trial process, and completed the trial of the difficult, complex and high-profile case in five days, and concluded the trial within the statutory time limit, with a verdict of 244 pages and 130,000 words! I once jokingly asked him, "Are you depressed after seeing so much human sin?" He replied: "The more I see the ugly side of human nature, the more I cherish the value of kindness." Fortunately, there are countless ordinary judges like Zhang Xianyuan around me - based on their own duties, actively acting, and performing their duties. Walk with it with courage.
To be a good respondent on the new judicial journey, we are full of warmth
The judicial protection of juveniles has always been one of the focuses of the public's attention. In particular, on the occasion of International Children's Day this year, the Supreme People's Court released the 40th batch of Guiding Cases, which is the first time that the Supreme People's Court has released a special Guiding Case on the judicial protection of minors. This shows the extent of judicial protection for minors. Back on January 1, 2022, the "People's Republic of China Family Education Promotion Law" was officially implemented, and the era of "bringing children according to law" was fully opened. As a pilot court for the reform of national civil trials, the Jiangnan District Court has formed a relatively mature and effective "Jiangnan 10+1" reform experience, for the implementation of the "Family Education Promotion Law", we quickly responded and stepped up the implementation, only half a month later, my colleague, Judge Fei Changxiang of the Family and Juvenile Cases Trial Division, issued the first family education order of our court to the parents of a juvenile delinquent in accordance with the law.
Speaking of Fei Changxiang, it is estimated that there are many people familiar with the court system in Nanning City - this judge Fei, who has been engaged in juvenile trial work for many years, also has a warm name - "Fei Dad", he has been rated as an advanced individual in the juvenile court work of the people's court, a national outstanding Young Pioneers counselor, and a national outstanding counselor for juvenile legal education. In the past five years, "Fei Papa Fei" has organized 22 open days for students, taught 67 rule of law courses, and 17 mock courts, and educated more than 40,000 teachers and students. "When more and more children are in contact, the responsibility of 'Fei Dad' is getting heavier and heavier, and only by insisting on both punishment and education can we take the helm for the healthy growth of children." Around me, there are many colleagues who stick to their original intentions like "Fei's father": the trial of personal safety protection orders, the introduction of divorce cooling-off periods and the innovation of the family investigator system. With the joint efforts of everyone, our court has successively formulated normative documents such as the "Pilot Plan for Carrying out the Reform of Family Trials" and the "Working Rules for the Trial of Family Dispute Cases" and the corresponding implementation rules, clearly stipulating the operating procedures and practices of each work and providing institutional guarantees for the trial of judges' cases. On this basis, we have also focused on building a characteristic party building brand - "Sunflower Blossom" brand to protect the rights and interests of women and children, and our court has successively won the honors of the 2023-2024 National Safeguarding of the Rights and Interests of Adolescents and the National Advanced Collective for Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Women and Children.
Whether it is the departed Brother Yong, the righteous Zhang Xianyuan, or the affectionate "Father Fei", as the respondents of the rule of law work in the new era, they have illuminated me and the people around us from transmitters to luminators.
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, looking back at the magnificent oriental legend written by the party leading the people, I ask my heart, how can I be considered an excellent court person? There is no single standard answer to this question. As General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "the times are the people who produce the papers, we are the respondents, and the people are the people who read the files", as the respondents of the new judicial journey, I think from the court people, court affairs and court situations around me; Answer from the expectation on the faces of the parties, the relief of both the plaintiff and the defendant, and the relieved expressions of the applicant. Thousands of rivers meet the sea, and the wind is sailing. I will also work with my colleagues to continue to be a good respondent in the judicial journey of the new era, better take on the role in the great practice of the new era, better strengthen ideals and beliefs, adhere to the original intention of the rule of law, and strive to write a new chapter in the high-quality development of the work of Nanning courts!
