"Beijing courts have gradually formed a pattern of trial work that emphasizes both online and offline."
Kou Fang, deputy to the National People’s Congress and president of the Beijing Higher People’s Court, said during an exclusive interview with reporters during the National People’s Congress.
In the past year, the epidemic prevention task in the capital has been arduous.
The trial "transcripts" handed over by the court showed that 839,175 new cases were accepted, 836,514 were concluded, and the task of trial execution was successfully completed, realizing that "trial execution will not stop and fairness and justice will not stop."
In Kou Fang's view, an important factor in achieving this is that modern technology has been deeply applied in trial work, and the city's courts have promoted "contactless" litigation services and normalized online litigation.
He recalled that in the face of the sudden epidemic, the Beijing Higher People's Court quickly built the "Beijing Cloud Court" covering the city's third-tier courts.
On the basis of traditional Internet courts, "Beijing Cloud Court" uses information technology with remote video as the core, and has functions such as multi-party video dialogue, electronic evidence cross-examination, transcript voice transcription, electronic signature, etc., and can realize 800 online court trials simultaneously.
In 2020, the number of online court trials in Beijing courts reached 359,000, accounting for 40% of the number of online court trials in courts across the country. Two-thirds of the cases in the city's courts will be heard online.
Beijing courts use new technological achievements to promote the development of adjudication work, but there is actually "convenient location".
Beijing is a science and technology innovation center. It is currently accelerating the construction of an international science and technology innovation center and a global digital economy benchmark city. The new generation of information technology such as blockchain and big data is accelerating breakthrough applications.
For example, Kou Fang said that blockchain technology provides technical guarantee for the verification of evidence and credible operations in many aspects of the trial work.
In 2020, the Beijing Court’s electronic dossier has been deposited on the chain for 9.31 million times, and documents have been served for trusted operations and deposited on the chain for 245,000 times. The Beijing Internet Court uses blockchain smart contract technology to implement "one-click case registration". Become the world's first application of smart contract technology in the judicial field.
In the fields of financial disputes, property disputes, copyright disputes, etc., Chaoyang Court, Fengtai Court, etc. introduced blockchain technology to supervise the whole process of collecting evidence for electronic deposits, promote the prevention and resolution of conflicts and disputes in related fields at the source, and effectively promote litigation in key areas. Source governance model innovation.
In addition, the Beijing Court has built a big data analysis platform integrating data display and data analysis, realizing the data visualization of court management.
"For example, we embed the case process timeline in the judge's case handling system, real-time recording and simultaneous display of more than 100 nodes in the entire case handling process, so that the online case handling process is visible, the quality is controllable, and the problems can be traced. It can effectively provide risk warnings, Defect early warning and intelligent supervision have realized the full-process informatization supervision of case handling." Kou Fang said.
He also talked about the establishment of an intelligent research and judgment system, the introduction of intelligent auxiliary functions such as online case retrieval, case regulation push, etc., according to the characteristics of the case to automatically push case analysis, legal clauses, and similar cases to judges, and use information technology to promote the uniformity of judgment standards.
At present, there are still many new issues to be solved in "judicial + science and technology".
Kou Fang said that the key is to achieve a deep integration of technology and trial, which is also an inevitable choice for the high-quality development of the people's courts.
He said that the Beijing Higher People’s Court is preparing the Five-Year Development Plan for the Informationization of Beijing Courts (2021-2025), which will further open up “information islands” and “data barriers”, deeply integrate into the Beijing Big Data Action Plan, and give play to the example of Internet courts.
