The Legal Structure and Practical Dilemma of the Establishment of the "Review System"

Abstract

In order to improve the judicial responsibility system, implement the supervision and management responsibility of the presiding judge, and improve the quality of court judgments, the Supreme People's Court has proposed the reform of the courtyard long review system for judgment documents. This proposal helps to improve the quality of case trials and alleviate the pressure on judges under the "lifelong responsibility system" in handling cases; However, if the implementation of the review system is not appropriate, it will inevitably lead to significant changes in the operation mechanism of the judicial power, and may even substantially affect the effectiveness of the reform of the judicial responsibility system. In this article, the author will explore the feasibility and implementation difficulties of the review system from two perspectives: the legal structure and practical difficulties of its establishment.
