"It's really convenient to go to court now." Located in the enterprise-related service room of the Shenbei Court in the courtyard of the Shenyang Oil Production Plant in Xinglongbao Town, Xinmin City, Shenyang City, Lin Mou, an employee of the Shenyang Oil Production Plant in the Liaohe Oilfield of PetroChina, went through the network inspection and control system to handle the security procedures, and in less than 10 minutes, he completed them all and left satisfactorily.
This is just a microcosm of the Liaohe Intermediate Court's implementation of the strong foundation orientation, the construction of a new development pattern, the insistence on shifting the center of gravity downward, and the consolidation of the foundation for the development of grass-roots courts.
Whoever seeks the elders of the wood will strengthen its roots. In 2021, the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court highlighted the goal-oriented, problem-oriented, and effect-oriented, and took multiple measures to solve the practical difficulties of grass-roots courts, and the leaders of the court have accumulated 15 times to investigate and guide the grass-roots courts, and steadily and steadily promote the construction of people's courtrooms.
Optimize the positioning of the pattern and plan for the overall situation of the people
If the masses are inconvenienced, why should they serve the people? Doing a good job in people's livelihood is the solution.
The four people's courts of the Liaohe Court are all set up on the basis of oilfield mining areas, surrounded by villages, and belong to enclaves, with the nearest 20 kilometers from the main urban area and more than 160 kilometers from the farthest. The difficulty of going to the courtroom has become a major problem that plagues the courtroom and the masses.
Optimize the layout of the courtroom, so that the people can run one less way-
In order to reduce the time and travel costs spent by the masses due to litigation, the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court actively responded to the judicial needs of the people and readjusted the jurisdiction of the people's court cases in combination with factors such as the number of cases, the number of population, traffic conditions, and the degree of informatization.
In order to let the people run one less road and take one less car. According to the distribution of the masses' residences under the jurisdiction of the people's court, circuit trial sites have been set up in the Bohai subdistrict area of Xinglongtai District, the Ciyutuo Oil Production Plant of PetroChina Liaohe Oilfield, the Jinzhou Oil Production Plant, and the Gaosheng Oil Production Plant, respectively, to undertake functions such as circuit trials, litigation guidance, and legal system publicity, and to create a litigation circle without dead ends.
Due to the field work of oil production workers in the Liaohe Oilfield, the Huanxiling Court extended the litigation service time to noon and holidays due to the irregular shift time of the oil production workers in the Liaohe Oilfield and the irregular location of the well;
Qin Moulan of the Cicai community opened the courtroom to his home because of the circuit trial site, solved the problem of his mobility problem, and affectionately called the judge "timely rain".
The courts have facilitated the litigation of the parties according to the time, person and circumstances, and the leaders, employees and families of the enterprises in the oil zone have truly felt the temperature and thickness of the judiciary.
In 2021, the people chose the nearest circuit trial site to carry out more than 50 lawsuits, consulted more than 400 legal issues, and were satisfied with 100%.
Optimize functional positioning, science and technology to empower the construction of "five modernizations" ——
In order to give full play to the frontline role of the people's courtrooms in resolving contradictions, the party group of the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court has clearly positioned the four people's courts as urban courts, and the development direction is comprehensive courts, undertaking comprehensive functions such as case trial, diversified solutions, petition stability, legal popularization, and grass-roots social governance. In 2021, the four people's courts concluded a total of 481 cases, accounting for 24.63% of the cases of the Liaohe People's Court.
The Liaohe Intermediate People's Court benchmarked the standards for the construction of the people's courtrooms, strengthened investment in informatization, let the data run more, and let the parties run less errands. All courts have realized online case filing, payment, evidence exchange, mediation, trial, service, and cross-domain case filing, and established a litigation framework system of full-service online handling, full-process judicial openness and all-round intelligent services, realizing refined and professional online business collaborative handling, and truly realizing one-stop service.
Enhance soft and hard power and consolidate the foundation for the people
If the position is not secure, why should the people? Improving the authenticity of the courtroom is the last word.
"Since the special group started its work, it has summarized the progress of the implementation of the problems of each court every day, reported to the party group every week, and solved a total of 11 problems that plagued the development of grass-roots courts." Chen Huawei, deputy head of the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court's "I Solve Difficult Problems for the Grassroots" special group and president of the First Civil Court, said so.
With the upgrading of infrastructure to build a convenient base camp——
Due to the shortage of funds and the aging infrastructure of the four people's courts of the Liaohe Court, there are potential safety hazards, and they cannot fully meet the needs of trial work.
The party group of the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court coordinated with various parties to update and renovate the courtroom. In August 2021, the organization carried out a comprehensive replacement of the power lines of the Shuguang Court, and repaired and updated the old facilities. In the Shenbei courtroom, the enterprise-related service room was built, and a green channel for enterprise-related litigation services was opened.
After the renovation, the people's courtrooms are safe and tidy, with complete supporting facilities, and enhanced judicial service functions, which can meet other one-stop needs outside the courtroom.
Du Juan, head of shuguang community, said: "After the transformation of the court, not only the environment is good, the function is also strong, and the things that originally need to go to the city court can be directly handled in the court."
Improve the quality and efficiency of trials to maintain the bottom line of justice——
In 2021, the case filing rate of the four people's courtrooms on the same day was 100%, the proportion of cases concluded quickly was more than 60%, the minimum trial period for cases was 2 days, and the transfer and withdrawal rate was 77.75%, and the legitimate rights and interests of the people were fairly, timely and effectively protected.
The Liaohe Intermediate People's Court issued the Guiding Opinions of the Liaohe Intermediate Court on Several Issues Concerning the Regulation of The Revision of Judgments and remand for Retrial in Civil Cases, which unifies adjudication rules to reduce the rate of case issuance and reform. Issued the "Opinions of the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court on Regulating the Request for Instructions and Guidance in Civil Cases", held 3 "Liaohe Court Lecture Halls" and special work conferences such as the adjudication department, established business exchange groups and other methods to strengthen daily business guidance, and strived to cultivate grass-roots judges into "experts" who can use rule of law thinking and rule of law methods to carry out work.
Shen Cai's elderly mother Yang sent a pennant with the words "Devoted to the People, Honest and Efficient" to express her gratitude because the Shenbei court helped her daughter with both physical and intellectual disabilities to end her 10-year marriage.
Huanxiling Court was awarded the title of "National Advanced Collective of Courts" by the Supreme People's Court.
Expand service channels and promote the upgrading of benefits to the people
Social instability, why benefit the people? Actively serving grassroots governance reflects real results.
Combined with the requirements of "promoting the high-quality development of grass-roots courts and people's courts" put forward by Zheng Qing, president of the Liaoning Provincial Higher People's Court, the Liaohe Intermediate People's Court has accurately positioned itself, planned the work based on reality, considered it as a whole, solved the legal service problems in remote jurisdictions, and put the people's livelihood work in place.
Expand the power of resolving contradictions and disputes, and let the people around you resolve the affairs around you——
The courts insisted on putting the non-litigation dispute resolution mechanism in the forefront, accurately resolving the people's "urgent difficulties and expectations" problem, and successfully mediated 152 cases before litigation, an increase of 54.30% year-on-year, reducing the number of disputes from the source.
Each court has set up a platform for litigation and mediation docking with the streets, police stations and enterprise petitioning departments within its jurisdiction, expanding the pre-litigation contradiction and dispute resolution camp, and realizing the transformation of the "one-man show" of resolving disputes into a "chorus".
Courts regularly provide professional legal opinions and carry out training for litigation mediation docking units, improve the professional level of litigation mediation docking platforms to resolve disputes and disputes, prevent small conflicts from leading to large cases from the source, and deepen the governance of litigation sources.
Yu Lou court entangled in a property damage compensation dispute for 10 years, with the cooperation of community grid members and judges, the two sides not only released their previous suspicions, but also became good neighbors to help each other.
Expand the field of convenient services and be a good "gang" in the lives of the masses --
The Liaohe Intermediate People's Court demanded that court cadres and policemen establish the awareness that "everyone is a propagandist and everywhere is a propaganda position" and actively carry out publicity work on the rule of law.
Combining their own advantages and local realities, each court has opened up popular forms of law popularization, such as "big gatherings of laws", "small courts in the future", "open days of courts", "big lecture halls of laws", etc., and entered communities, campuses, and enterprises to provide legal advice and pre-litigation guidance services for the people and enterprises in their jurisdictions, and publicize the new trend of socialist rule of law.
Relying on the large gathering booths in the jurisdiction every Thursday, the Shuguang Court carries out legal popularization publicity, provides on-site consulting services, and files cases on the spot, which is deeply loved by the people in the jurisdiction. Wu Dajie, a regular visitor to the legal collection, said: "I have a little difficult heart in my heart, so I am waiting to go to this legal collection to walk around, and listening to these judges nagging me, my heart will be comfortable." ”
In 2021, the four grass-roots courts carried out a total of 18 lectures on the rule of law on enterprise topics, 9 moot courts, 22 campus law popularizations, 14 community law popularizations, and more than 30,000 people were educated.
Only by sowing the seeds of the rule of law in the soil of grass-roots governance can we fundamentally prevent and resolve contradictions and disputes.
Under the subtle influence of the atmosphere of the rule of law, the children's learning atmosphere is stronger, the relationship between husband and wife and neighbors is more harmonious, and the enterprise has reduced losses... The people's court has become a "gang" in the lives of the people in the mining area.
"There is no end to building people's courtrooms that the people are satisfied with, and in the new year, we will continue to implement the new development concept, consolidate responsibilities, innovate measures, and promote the construction and upgrading of people's courtrooms." Zhang Guoquan, secretary of the party group and president of the Liaohe Intermediate Court, said.
