| SPC Finalizes the Plan for Judicial Committee Reform |
| |
Zhang Genda, vice director of the Supreme People's Court's judicial reform office, recently said that due to differences in the quality of judges, the Judicial Committee cannot be abolished. The Supreme People's Court will, however, reform it.
The format of the committee will be changed from a meeting format to a trial format; encouraging committee members to form collegial panels or collaborate with other judges to join collegial panels to hear cases; professional committees will be established within the Judicial Committee in addition to the existing criminal and civil administration professional committees; the membership structure will be reformed; and Judicial Committee members will include a certain number of individuals who are high-level senior judges not in leadership positions within court. The Judicial Committee will vote after trial, with decisions made according to opinions of the majority.
