Features: Preface The 16th National Congress report clearly proposed advancing the reform of the judicial system. Its goals and requirements are: "The socialist judicial system must ensure the realization of fairness and justice throughout society. In accordance with the principles of fair adjudication and strict enforcement, improve the institutional setup, division of functions, and management systems of judicial organs, further strengthen a judicial system with clear responsibilities, mutual coordination, mutual restraint, and efficient operation. Ensure, through institutional mechanisms, that courts and procuratorates exercise their adjudicative and procuratorial powers independently and impartially in accordance with the law. Improve litigation procedures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens and legal persons. Effectively address the issue of enforcement difficulties. Reform the working mechanisms, personnel, finance, and property management systems of judicial organs, gradually separating judicial adjudication and procuratorial work from judicial administrative affairs. Strengthen oversight of judicial work and combat corruption in the judicial field. Build a team of judges and procurators who are politically steadfast, professionally skilled, and dedicated." This book introduces the judicial systems of foreign countries, focusing on aspects such as institutional setup, division of functions, and management systems of courts, procuratorates, investigative agencies, judicial administrative organs, and enforcement agencies.
