There are people in their hearts and the road under their feet
The reverse growth of litigation cases, the first batch of urban governance demonstration sites in Qujing City, the more than 30 years of litigation-free litigation in Puchong, the warm courtroom "home" culture, and the unsaided judgment throughout 2020... To know Xiao Feng, it began with a group of words that seemed a little monotonous.
Xiao Feng, born in March 1978, entered the Fuyuan County People's Court through the public examination after graduating from the law school of Yunnan University in June 2001, and successively "trained" in many positions in the criminal court, the Fucun court, the camp court, the office, and the administrative court. Long-term grassroots work makes him look "vicissitudes" a lot, but his gentle smile dilutes the wind and frost, which always makes people feel more cordial.
In the 8 years since it took root in the Murlot Red Court, in the face of the explosive growth of cases in courts across the country, especially in the dispatched courts, the litigation cases of the Mohong Court under the jurisdiction of the large local population town and the coal-producing town have dropped from more than 50 to more than 20 cases, and Xiao Feng has grown from a fledgling "stunned young man" to an "old judge" who is on his own.
Let the gavel fall more steadily
The yi and Han ethnic groups in the jurisdiction are mixed, the labor disputes in the coal industry are prominent, and the grass-roots governance points are multi-faceted. In December 2016, Xiao Feng presided over the work as vice president of the Mohong Court.
Mohong Town is located in the southwest of Fuyuan County, located in the junction of Qilin, Luliang and Luoping, the territory is rich in coal resources, Ayi sauerkraut, ink red white kidney beans, konjac and other agricultural products are famous far and wide, in May 2020 successfully listed on the list of agricultural industry strong town construction townships.
"Sticking closer to the villagers makes the gavel fall more stable." After taking office, in the face of many difficult problems that were difficult to break through for a while in the jurisdiction, Xiao Feng's sense of mission and responsibility in his heart increased day by day, and the pressure could be imagined. Looking back on the past, Xiao Feng said that since he could not do anything major for the time being, he would first lean down and do his best to make the court take the road of "serving the masses and taking root in the grassroots".
"Go to the court and ask about this" "Don't argue, go to court." "The parties are all neighboring villagers, because they are related to each other, and the trouble is always the trivial matter of the parents' short and chicken feathers. Xiao Feng knew that if it were not for the compulsion, the villagers would not be willing to go to court. Only by properly handling these trivial matters can we be closer to the villagers and make the gavel fall more stable.
Mohong is located in the Wumeng Mountains, the terrain is complex, the mountain roads are rugged, the transportation is inconvenient, and the population is scattered, and the living standards and cultural quality of a considerable part of the masses are not high, and they cannot bear the burden of litigation. Xiao Feng's "first fire" in taking office was to set up circuit trial points in the 16 village neighborhood committees under his jurisdiction, making it clear that all disputes over neighboring rights, maintenance, and land contract management rights should be smoothed out.
"When there are cases that go into the village for trial, they will popularize the law on the case, and guide the masses to handle affairs according to law and use the law in case of trouble; there is no case to investigate the prominent problems in the local area for a period of time and take the initiative to go to the village to send the law." In less than a year, the ink-red courthouse, which regularly and irregularly walks through the villages, has won praise from local cadres and the masses.
The professional status of a judge makes Xiao Feng always see more sorrow and strife. In the courtroom, he had seen too many tears, too many quarrels, and it seemed that strife always followed misfortune. But in this "bitter water" repeatedly soaked in him, he is always a soft heart. Judgment is not just a cold law, it also brings warmth and comfort to the "sunshine".
Let "less litigation and no judgment" be honored
Walking into the ink red courtroom, although a small building built three years ago is located in the "downtown" of busy traffic, everything looks "new" and the windows are clear.
"The small corridor is not about simplicity, but about implementation and responsibility." Entering the door is the convenient litigation service station with the theme of "service". Along the stairs, the second floor is the office with the theme of honest culture, the third floor cadre and police dormitory shows a warm "home" culture, and the fourth floor from "That year, I solemnly joined the Communist Party" "At that time, I solemnly promised the party organization" and "that thing, I do a meaningful thing" In the party building cultural corridor, a strong court culture swept over the face.
"Learning is like a bow and crossbow, only like an arrow", only with a solid foundation of knowledge, can individuals really exert themselves. As a master of law from Yunnan University, Xiao Feng's professional knowledge is very solid, and many years of grass-roots court work experience have allowed him to master more professional capabilities of "emotional and legal integration".
However, Xiao Feng was more concerned about these things. In the face of the trust of his neighbors, he was always thinking about how to make the masses fight less or even no lawsuits like Puchong Village, and even if they went to court, they would restore the neighbors' nostalgia and affection and even no judgment.
"Each case has different demands, and mediation enables the parties to express their demands more intuitively, promotes the unification of the opinions of both parties, and realizes the timely realization of the legitimate rights and interests of the parties." In view of the characteristics of the court, Xiao Feng refined the cases handled, carefully identified the focus of the disputes between the parties' contradictions and disputes, and looked for the meeting point to resolve the contradictions, "not laymen, grounded" to resolve disputes, and promote family harmony and neighborhood harmony.
In order to curb the breeding of contradictions and disputes from the source, with the support of local party committees and governments, especially police stations, judicial offices and mediation organizations, the court has "cross-border cooperation" between litigation and non-litigation dispute resolution institutions in litigation resolution, and the resolution of contradictions and disputes has changed from "judicial unity" to "social pluralism". The court implements grid management in all the village neighborhood committees under its jurisdiction, the household chiefs, grid chiefs, and film chiefs with a strong sense of responsibility and a sense of justice perform their duties, and the monthly meetings of the town contradiction and dispute litigation docking center regularly analyze and judge typical cases, opening up a pulse for difficult and major cases.
During the epidemic period, in view of the fact that many parties were unable to attend court to participate in litigation while working in other places, the court made full use of the "Cloud Dispute Resolution" diversified online solution platform to "move" mediation work from offline to online. Through online and offline "two legs", we provide all-round, multi-functional, barrier-free, "window-type", "counter-type" and "one-stop" comprehensive, low-cost litigation services for parties to the case, smoothing the channels for appeals and improving service efficiency.
In view of the fact that most of the cases of work injury insurance treatment of coal mining enterprises are difficult to reconcile, and the fact that the "marathon" litigation consumes the energy of the parties, Xiao Feng took the initiative to communicate with the coal mining enterprises in the jurisdiction and introduced the "delegated (entrusted) mediation + judicial confirmation" model, that is, after the worker was injured, if there was a substantial dispute with the coal mine on the issue of compensation, the court immediately entrusted the town people's mediation committee to mediate, and the court promptly conducted judicial confirmation after reaching an agreement. This process shortens the litigation of the parties from the past arbitration, first instance, second instance, and application for enforcement to within one week, which not only efficiently resolves the dispute, but also does not charge any fees for the whole process, which minimizes the litigation burden of the parties.
In 2020, the new cases received by the Murlot Court throughout the year were closed by mediation, achieving "no judgment throughout the year" for the first time, and all the cases received by the end of August this year were successfully mediated.
On Friday, September 10, Xiao Feng, who had been busy all week, wanted to go home to see his daughter who was preparing for kindergarten. Because he has been rooted in the grassroots for many years and the court has only 1 post judge, for the wife who teaches and the children who attend primary school and kindergarten, he is basically a "husband (father) at the end of the month" and an occasional "weekend husband (father)". When you are busy, the time to get together is even shorter. Because he had a debt in his heart, every time he came home, he wished that time could be slower and slower, but the good times were always short, and the responsibility on his shoulders urged him to pack up and rush to the "battlefield".
