| The reform of the way of civil court trial is an important part of the reforms ofthe way of court trial in our country. After more than ten years unremittinglytheoretical study and judicial practice, the current way of the civil court trial haschanged a lot since the problem about reforming the way of court trial was proposedat the!4th nation-wide court session in!988. The reform has gradually run out of theorbit of the traditional proceedings, not only in the content but also in the form. Andit has shown distinct features of the times, which mainly reflect in the followingaspects: the preparations prior to trial have been being perfected; the procedure oftrial has been more essential; the way of court inquiry has been more practical; thejudging function of the full court has been put into effect progressively. In thepresent situation, although the reform of the way of civil court trial has surpassed itsinitial stage and has been raised to a higher level, there is still enormous space foritthe core of the civil trial. The deepening of the reform not only has greatsignificance to the improvement of civil trial in our country, but also plays a role notto be ignored in the establishment and perfection of other lawsuits, e.g., evidencerules, the system of full court, etc. Under the current situation, in order to deepen thereform of the way of civil court trial, we should follow the criteria of justice andefficiency, and should stick to the principle of advancing step by step, the principleof basing ourselves on the Chinas national condition, and the principle ofmodernization. To be more concrete, we should further rationalize the internalstructure of trial, establish the system of centralized trial, improve the system of fullcourt, so as to, in a short term, set up a series of a mature, stable and modernizedways of civil court trial, which conforms with Chinas actual conditions, and promotethe way of civil court trial to develop in depth. |
