In the Environmental Tourism Court of the Zhaohua District People's Court in Guangyuan, President Chen Sisi often encountered such questions from the masses in the past, and "popularizing the law by case" answered these confusions
On October 22, 2021, villagers from Langda Village, Derong County, Sichuan Province, came to the Derong County Medicinal Material Planting Demonstration Base to prepare for labor.
Big things are discussed urgently, and small things are discussed regularly, which is the daily life of the residents of sanjiang first community in Youxian District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. The party committee of the Hanjiaji community where the community is located often invites lawyers to the sills of the community to popularize the law for residents, and also hires legal counsel to take the pulse of the work of the community. At present, 62 communities in Sichuan Province have carried out demonstration and creation of rule of law communities, with the purpose of solving problems such as insufficient autonomy and lack of rule of law in community governance.
"Improve the socialization, rule of law, intelligence and professionalization of social governance", which is a clear requirement for social governance put forward by the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In recent years, Sichuan, a large western province, has started from the rule of law, grasped the "basic plate" of county governance, grasped the "key minority" to drive administrative organs to administer according to law, and improved the credibility of the rule of law by innovating rule of law publicity, ensuring fair administration of justice, and providing convenient legal services.
In the process of continuous innovation and exploration, the foundation of the rule of law for Sichuan's high-quality development has been continuously consolidated. Nowadays, a good atmosphere of handling affairs according to law, finding the law in case of trouble, relying on the law to resolve contradictions, and solving problems and using the law is taking shape, and the rule of law thinking and rule of law methods are being integrated into every pulse beating of the Shu Xingchuan.
Based on the "basic disk" of county governance
Counties and counties, the world is safe.
According to statistics, more than 800 million of the mainland's 1.4 billion people live in counties. As the connection point between the state and society, between the city and the countryside and the basic unit of economic and social development, the county is the foundation for developing the economy, ensuring people's livelihood and maintaining stability, the most direct and effective governance level for promoting the construction of a socialist modern power, and the source of power for the country's high-quality development and the realization of governance modernization. The towns and villages in the county are not only the "background" of many people's lives, but also the "basic disk" related to the stable and healthy development of the mainland's social economy.
The country cannot be ruled, and the people cannot be left undefeated. "County governance is an important link and bottom foundation for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, and the key lies in finding a pragmatic and effective path." Liu Zhicheng, director of the office of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee's Provincial Committee for Comprehensively Administering the Law in Accordance with the Law and director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice, said.
In 2020, Sichuan selected 14 counties (cities, districts) and 24 provincial departments throughout the province, led by 14 provincial leaders, and guided 14 counties (cities, districts) according to their counterparts, and at the same time, 1 provincial department, 1 university, and 1 outstanding lawyer team jointly contacted and guided to carry out a one-year pilot project to explore an effective path for comprehensively governing the county according to law.
"In the past, in county governance in some places, there were some common shortcomings: grasping more institutional systems and grasping the hard (Sichuan dialect, meaning 'moving the real character') assessment and accountability less; grasping more text research and grasping less implementation paths; grasping more top-level documents and grasping the rule of law at the grass-roots level; grasping more links in legislative law enforcement and abiding by the law, and grasping less overall planning and implementation." The person in charge of the secretariat of the Office of the Sichuan Provincial Cpc Committee's Provincial Committee for Comprehensively Administering the Country in Accordance with the Law, who once served as deputy secretary of the county party committee at the local level, has a deep understanding of the problem of obstruction in governing the county according to law.
Focusing on these difficult problems, the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee Organized a Special Force to Systematically Sort Out the Key Links in the Construction of the Rule of Law at the County Level, studied countermeasures and methods, and purposefully compiled work guidelines for comprehensively governing the county according to law and promoting the solution of eight specific problems, and put forward 179 specific solution measures, striving to achieve accurate targeting and practical measures.
Today, the Secretariat Office has more than 20 volumes and more than 8 million words of research results on the demonstration pilot and demonstration of comprehensively governing counties in accordance with the law and promoting the solution of eight specific issues in the construction of the rule of law (referred to as the "1+8" demonstration pilot).
Complete the "point-to-point" network enforcement inspection and control system, all relevant units accelerate the realization of data informatization, networking, and intelligence, realize data docking with the people's courts, open up the relevant functions of the enforcement case-handling system to "check and freeze and seize", and actively broaden the channels for the investigation and control of the property of the person subject to enforcement and the means and methods of property disposal... Turning over the "work guide", this is one of the countermeasures proposed for the problem of difficulty in enforcing effective judgments.
In 2021, under the strong impetus of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, the Sichuan Provincial Court and 11 provincial-level units worked together to achieve online inquiries of real estate and housing provident fund in the province, relying on the provincial grid team to find 12,800 pieces of judgment debtors and property information. In 2021, the provincial courts concluded 426,800 cases of various types, and the enforcement was 88.145 billion yuan.
The "key minority" administers according to law
The law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent.
"The key to the construction of the rule of law lies in the cultivation of the 'key minority' rule of law thinking and the improvement of the rule of law capacity." Wang Bin, deputy director of the Office of the Sichuan Provincial CPC Committee's Provincial Committee for Comprehensively Administering the Rule of Law in Accordance with the Law and deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice, said: In particular, whether the "number one" administers according to law and the status of the rule of law work in local work directly affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the rule of law construction.
In 2020, at the beginning of Sichuan's identification of 14 pilot areas for comprehensively governing counties in accordance with the law, the office of the Sichuan Provincial Committee for Comprehensively Governing the Country in Accordance with the Law conducted point-to-point communication with the secretaries of the county (city, district) party committees in each pilot area one by one, urging the county (city, district) party committees to effectively assume the main responsibility and take the rule of law work as the central work.
"In the past two years, we have seen in the pilot counties (cities, districts) that the county party secretaries grasp the rule of law work like GDP, which is an exciting phenomenon." Chen Jun, vice president of the Chengdu Lawyers Association, who participated in the counterpart guidance, said that the atmosphere in which cadres handle affairs according to law, find the law when things go wrong, solve problems and use the law, and resolve contradictions rely on the rule of law thinking and rule of law work methods has initially taken shape.
In Zhaohua District, Guangyuan City, the main leaders of the district party committee and district government all carried out rule of law training before "taking up their posts", and the compulsory examination method before appointment became a necessary procedure for the appointment of cadres -- all cadres who intended to be promoted to leading posts at or above the section level must participate in and pass the pre-appointment legal knowledge examination, and 6 local people have been temporarily promoted because they fail the legal knowledge examination.
In Luxian County, the county party committee has established a tripartite review mechanism for major decision-making, which identifies public participation, expert argumentation, risk assessment, legality review, and collective discussion decisions as legal procedures for major decision-making, ensuring that the decision-making system is scientific, the procedures are proper, the process is open, the responsibilities are clear, and it can withstand the test of history and law.
On the mainland, more than 80 percent of laws, more than 90 percent of regulations, and almost all regulations are enforced and enforced by the government and its functional departments. It can be said that the key to the construction of the rule of law lies in the administration of administrative organs according to law. In the face of a vast sea of laws and regulations, how to get started quickly? Many places in Sichuan have mastered the "secret book" through the account map of the rule of law.
In the summer of 2021, residents near fujiang cultural square in Suining Shehong City reported to the chengnan police station that they were awakened every morning by the sound of the elderly practicing in the morning smoking gyros, and they were overwhelmed. The task of mediating this contradiction was entrusted to Xiao Juan, who had just been adjusted from an internal support post to a community police post. Although she had zero experience, she quickly found out the procedures, post rights and responsibilities and legal basis by relying on the rule of law account charts of the three police stations, and quickly mediated successfully.
Turning to Xiao Juan's "Work Book", each page corresponds to the legal basis and post responsibilities in the form of "accounts" and "figures", and the law, post, person, affairs and responsibilities are clear at a glance. Although the work of the community police is complicated, Xiao Juan has become familiar with the work in one week by reading the accounts and working according to the map.
In Qionglai City, Chengdu, and Hongyuan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, all functional departments have set up rule of law ledgers and produced map of the rule of law at various posts. In the Youxian District of Mianyang City, from the general ledger chart hanging on the wall, to a book of sub-ledgers, to the accounting manual in the hands of each clerk, the office has become a new habit for public officials to work.
"The account map of the rule of law has effectively solved the problems of unclear posts, no distinction between affairs, and unclear responsibilities in the performance of duties by some administrative departments in the past, and has also found a real grasp and a real carrier for administration according to law." Liu Ziqiang, secretary of the Zhaohua District Party Committee of Guangyuan City, said.
Feel fairness and justice by popularizing the law by case
To build a society based on the rule of law, emphasis is placed on consolidating the foundation at the grass-roots level. Only when the masses know and understand the law can the rule of law have a foundation.
On the eve of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, the citizens of Mianzhu City, Deyang, the hometown of New Year paintings, received a special New Year gift - "Civil Code • Mianzhu New Year Painting Picture Book". "Intellectual property rights have benefits, common property is not questioned" "There are special cases for rural land construction, and land cannot be offset separately"... Opening the picture book, 300 New Year paintings reflecting the daily life of the masses, as well as simple and clear slips of the tongue and nearly 600 legal provisions jumped on the paper, together forming a vivid "New Year Painting Interpretation Law" law popularization brochure. "It is both artistic and intellectual, and such picture books can be accepted by the whole family, young and old." A citizen who got the picture book said.
In addition to the "indiscriminate" law popularization carried out in this innovative form, various departments in the pilot areas of comprehensively governing the county in accordance with the law have also combined their own work to carry out "targeted" law popularization.
"If you catch a pheasant, why is it against the law?" "What's wrong with living in the mountains and relying on the mountains to eat the mountains?" In the Guangyuan Zhaohua District People's Court's Environmental Tourism Court, President Chen Sisi often encountered such questions from the masses in the past.
In order to answer these confusions, the court decided to popularize the law by case – whenever there is an environmental resources case for public trial, the court will post a notice in advance to inform the time and place of the trial. In order to facilitate the masses to observe the hearing, the court generally chooses to hold a trial on the local market day, and sometimes moves the trial to the place where the incident occurred to set up a "dam and dam court", in addition to inviting the masses to observe the hearing, it also answers questions after the judgment.
Through the public trial of a series of cases, more and more people understand which wild animals are protected by national laws, that deforestation and burning mountains bear legal responsibility, that birds in the forest cannot be caught casually, and that fish in the river cannot be fought casually.
Many ordinary people have said: "If the judge had not come to the door to judge the case, maybe one day he would have broken the law by being confused." ”
Mobilize the masses to formulate autonomous conventions, sing songs on the rule of law, compile and perform rule of law programs, participate in the mediation of contradictions and disputes... The work of popularizing the law in a way that has weathered people and moisturized things has made the belief in the rule of law sprout in the hearts of the masses, and the fair adjudication of one judicial case after another has made the young shoots continue to grow.
On October 14, 2021, the "Ram" case was heard in the first instance at the Aba Prefecture Intermediate People's Court. Before the trial, the judge in charge of the Aba Prefecture Intermediate People's Court conducted a careful and meticulous review of the facts and evidence of the case, put forward 29 additional suggestions for evidence, and clarified the facts of the case and summarized the focus of the dispute by convening three pre-trial conferences.
After a 5-hour trial on the same day, the prosecution and defense conducted sufficient evidence, cross-examination and debate around the focus of the dispute. In the end, the Aba Prefecture Intermediate People's Court pronounced the defendant Tang Lu (i.e., "Ram's" ex-husband) guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced him to death, depriving him of his political rights for life. The trial of the "Ram" case is a microcosm of the Sichuan court's consolidation of the substance of the trial and the guarantee of fair adjudication in recent years.
In recent years, Sichuan Province has focused on strengthening the judiciary for the people, deeply promoting the comprehensive reform of the judicial responsibility system, refining and clarifying 88 tasks and 66 test results, so that the people can truly feel that fairness and justice are around. Efficient and convenient public legal services can effectively enhance the sense of gain and happiness of the masses. At present, Sichuan Province has basically achieved full coverage of the city, county and rural four-level public legal service entity platform, and the "12348" legal service hotline and network have been upgraded to 24-hour response.
The rule of law is the best business environment. On February 5, 2021, the Tianfu Central Legal District was officially launched in Chengdu, marking the birth of the country's first modern legal agglomeration area to promote the construction of the rule of law at the provincial level in Sichuan. With the approval of the Supreme People's Court, five professional courts, including finance, bankruptcy, Internet, intellectual property rights, and giant panda national park, have been settled in the Tianfu Central Legal District for operation.
As of the end of December 2021, these five professional courts had accepted 27,600 cases and concluded 24,500 cases, involving a subject matter of 160.84 billion yuan. Legal institutions such as lawyers, notaries, arbitrations, and judicial appraisals stationed in the legal affairs area have provided more than 25,000 high-quality and high-end legal services for various market entities. The gathering of professional adjudication forces and legal affairs industry promotes the structural reform of the supply side of a legal service, provides professional and rich intellectual support for the rule of law in social governance, and also escorts high-quality development.
