Features: With the deepening of judicial system reform, the publication of court judgments has been included as part of the openness of judicial proceedings. This initiative helps improve the quality of judgment documents, facilitates public access and oversight, and also has positive implications for improving legislation, enforcing laws, and advancing legal education and research. As a bridge between courts and readers, we have cooperated with courts across various regions to edit and publish the serial publication Selected Judgments of the People's Courts. This series is edited by the High People's Courts of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government and is published in chronological order. Starting from 2000, one to two volumes are published each year, divided by province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government. The series includes judgment documents created by high-level courts and selected intermediate or grassroots courts, including judgments, orders, and mediation agreements. Its features include: cases selected for their typicality or certain levels of judicial difficulty, clear and concise case descriptions, in-depth, thorough, and rational analyses from all parties involved (prosecutors, defendants, and judges), strong persuasiveness and enlightenment, and relatively accurate determination of facts and application of law by the adjudicating authorities, making them instructive. The editorial format of the series is as follows:
1. Judgment documents are divided into several categories: criminal, civil (including economic, intellectual property, etc.), administrative, and state compensation. Each category is further subdivided into several subcategories: criminal cases are arranged according to the order of the criminal division of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China; civil cases are arranged according to the classification order of the Provisional Regulations on the Classification of Civil Cases issued by the Supreme People's Court in October 2000; administrative cases are arranged by department while also considering content; state compensation cases are divided into administrative compensation and judicial compensation.
2. Within the same category of cases, orders are listed before judgments and in chronological order.
3. For the same case, judgment documents from higher courts are listed before those from lower courts.
