Openness ranking of courts published

A top Chinese institute published the first report to rank courts on their openness on Monday,as part of efforts to promote judicial transparency.

The report by the Chinese Academy of Social SciencesInstitute of Law covered 103 courts inZhejiang province.

Evaluation criteria included the openness of trials and how quickly verdicts were releasedonline.

From April to Septemberthe institute collected data from the courtswebsitesincluding theprovincial high court and 11 intermediate courtsand carried out courtroom inspections.

Courts were then given scores based on the findingsthe institute said in a statement.

It is the first time Chinese courts have been evaluated by a third party on transparencycalled"an innovationby Shen Deyongvice-president of the Supreme People's Court.

Zhu Shenyuanvice-president of the Zhejiang High People's Courtsaid an independentinstitute can better point out a court's problems and provide a more objective result.

Previouslythe public could not know whether judgements were enforced or not in courts'vague documentsbut now all steps are specified and some courts provided supporting figures,said Tian Hechief author of the report.

For instancethe report shows about 81 percent of Zhejiang courts have video equipment incourtrooms to record trials and about 98 percent have provided lawsuit guidelines for thepublic.

Failings of the courts were reflected as well as achievements in the report.

According to the study, 82 courts did not update their lawsuit guidelines in time after theChinese Civil Procedure Law and Criminal Procedure Law were revisedand only five courtsposted verdicts online within 30 days after trials ended.

One court did not publish even one judgment on its website during the periodthe reportadded.

"I never imagined the study would go so smoothly in Zhejiang's courtsas I was twice refusedpermission to conduct a similar study in Beijing," said Tianwho is director of the institute's ruleof law study office.

Some courts even supplied extra judicial informationsuch as how much they had invested injudicial transparency and how many news conferences they held during the five monthsshesaid.

"It's a good thing the courts had the courage to be open and accept the rankingswhich arecrucial for our study and to push judicial transparency," she added.

Fu Yulina law professor at Peking Universityspoke highly of the reportciting it as abreakthrough in judicial transparency.

But she also worried some courts would shrink from putting judgments onlinefearing unhealthyjudicial competition if the courts only pay attention to figures.

Wang Minyuana law professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciencessaid the scoresare not the only standard to evaluate a court's transparencysuggesting the institute makefuture reports much easier for people to understand.

"After allwe need public supervisionso we have to ensure the public can easily understandwhat the reports say," he added
