Guide social members to enhance public awareness and rule awareness. In modern society, people’s work and life can not be separated from public space, and standardized public space behavior is the foundation of a vibrant, harmonious and orderly society. In the trial of cases in public space, the people’s courts give consideration to national laws and human feelings, distinguish right from wrong, punish evil and promote good, and strive to achieve the unity of legal and social effects. Hearing the case of "sudden death of a child who was injured when he left", the judge ruled that the obstructionist would not take responsibility and encouraged him to be brave.

Fourth, build a convenient and efficient conflict resolution mechanism and actively participate in social governance.
Resolving contradictions and disputes is an important content of social governance. The people’s court is a judicial organ to resolve contradictions and disputes and solve the demands of the masses. Resolving contradictions fairly and efficiently, and dividing up disputes is an important duty of the people’s courts to participate in social governance, and it is also an important content to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.
Smooth channels for solving mass disputes. Consolidate the achievements of the reform of the registration system for filing cases, promote the establishment of cases on the spot, self-help and online, and resolutely prevent the resurgence of difficulties in filing cases. The court opens its doors, but it can’t play a one-man show. It must adhere to and develop the "Fengqiao experience" in the new era, integrate into the social governance system led by the party Committee, and rely on the people and social organizations to effectively prevent and resolve contradictions and disputes. Local courts insist on putting the non-litigation dispute resolution mechanism in the forefront, strengthening the linkage of people’s mediation, administrative mediation and judicial mediation, and docking non-litigation and litigation, giving full play to the online dispute resolution function of the people’s court mediation platform, so that contradictions among the people can be resolved faster and more effectively.

Smooth the channels of litigation services, never let the masses have nowhere to complain, and never ignore their demands. In the litigation service center, we provide one-stop service, one-line service and one-line service, and courts in Jiangxi and Hunan set up self-help litigation service facilities in rural communities to make it more convenient for people to participate in litigation.
Promote cross-domain filing litigation services. Cross-domain filing litigation services will be fully promoted nationwide, and the parties can choose the nearest court to submit an application for filing, reducing the rush. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions have taken the lead in achieving full cross-domain filing, and the national intermediate and grass-roots courts and maritime courts have achieved full coverage of cross-domain filing services. The new model of "prosecution at home" has effectively solved the inconvenience of people’s litigation in different places.
Resolving disputes based on urban and rural grassroots. Give full play to the role of 10,759 people’s courts nationwide, actively participate in county-level grassroots governance, and mediate and conclude 4.731 million cases. The people’s courts in Yan ‘an, Xunwu, Liangdang and other places insist on the masses saying things, saying things directly in civil matters and saying things by judges, resolve conflicts and disputes in time, and serve the rural revitalization. The "horseback court" and "judge with a basket on his back" waded through mountains and rivers, went deep into the fields and people’s homes, and strived to ensure that the judicial services of the people’s courts would follow wherever there was judicial demand.
V. Consolidate the achievement of "basically solving the difficulties in implementation" and keep the implementation work running at a high level.
After achieving the goal of "basically solving the implementation difficulties" as scheduled, the people’s court insisted that Qingshan would not relax, constantly consolidating the results of "basically solving the implementation difficulties" and moving towards the goal of effectively solving the implementation difficulties. In 2019, courts across the country accepted 10.414 million enforcement cases, and executed 9.547 million cases, with the amount of enforcement in place reaching 1.7 trillion yuan, up by 17.4%, 22.4% and 10.8% respectively year-on-year.

Six, deepen the reform of the judicial system and the construction of smart courts, and constantly improve the quality, efficiency and credibility of the judiciary.
Justice and efficiency are the eternal value pursuit of people’s courts. In the face of the rapid growth of cases worldwide, especially civil and commercial cases, China courts should provide their own solutions. We can’t take the road of constantly expanding the number of staff, let alone take the road of restricting the filing of cases, choosing to file cases, and rejecting the demands of the masses. We must rely on deepening judicial reform, building smart courts, and accelerating the modernization of the trial system and trial capacity.
Deepen the comprehensive reform of the judicial system. We will implement the opinions on comprehensively deepening reform in the field of politics and law, issue the fifth five-year reform outline of the people’s courts, and promote the integration, coordination and efficiency of various reforms.

Deepen sunshine justice. As of April this year, China Judgment Document Network published 91.95 million documents, and China Trial Process Information Open Network disclosed 29 million cases and 1.5 billion items of information to the parties, which made fairness and justice stand up to the crowd. China trial public network broadcast 6.96 million cases, with a viewing volume of 23.7 billion person-times. Online trial attendance has become a new platform for the masses to respect the law and abide by the law. After years of practice, the open, dynamic, transparent and convenient sunshine judicial mechanism has become more mature and stereotyped, enriching and developing the socialist civilization ruled by law.
Judicial reform and smart courts, as the "two wheels of a car and two wings of a bird" in the modernization of the trial system and trial capacity of the people’s courts, have effectively improved the quality and effectiveness of trials.

The Supreme People’s Court investigated and dealt with 11 police officers who violated discipline and law in our hospital, and courts at all levels investigated and dealt with 1,374 police officers who used the power of trial execution, among whom 115 were investigated for criminal responsibility. In view of the outstanding problems that affect judicial integrity, such as illegal questioning cases, violation of evasion of appointment, acting as litigation brokers, anonymous agents of relatives and friends, we will thoroughly check and correct ourselves and make comprehensive and thorough rectification. In-depth warning education should be carried out, with cases of violation of discipline and law as negative teaching materials, and lessons should be learned profoundly, so as to plug loopholes, improve mechanisms and create a clean and upright judicial environment.

Here, on behalf of the Supreme People’s Court, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks!
We are clearly aware that there are still many problems in the work of the people’s courts: First, there is still a big gap between the judicial concept and judicial ability and the new requirements of the new era, and the ability to cope with risk challenges and serve high-quality development needs to be strengthened. Second, there is not enough research on the new situation and new problems brought about by economic and social development, and there are some problems of inconsistent judgment standards. Third, the comprehensive reform of the judicial system is not implemented in place, and the trial management system and the supervision and restriction mechanism for the operation of trial power are not sound enough. Fourth, there is a shortage of high-quality professional trial talents in the fields of intellectual property, internet and foreign affairs, and the talent training mechanism needs to be improved. Fifth, improper judicial style and judicial corruption have occurred from time to time. Some police officers use cases for personal gain, trade power and money and even act as "protective umbrellas" for evil forces. The task of building a clean and honest party style and fighting corruption is still arduous and arduous. Sixth, some courts have prominent contradictions between people and cases, and the pressure of handling cases is great. It is difficult for grassroots courts in remote areas to recruit and retain people. We will take effective measures to solve these problems under the leadership of the Party.
