[2024-04-22]

Party Building leads to cohesiveness, brand empowerment drives development. Recently, Fengxian District held a launch ceremony for the creation of district-level agency unit party-building brands. At the launch ceremony, the Zhelin Court of the Fengxian District People’s Court shared and exchanged innovative practices and distinctive highlights of their “Zheli Shangxue” Party - building brand.

  • I. Brand Connotation

The Zhelin Court is located in Zhelin Town, Fengxian District. The name “Zheli” signifies that this Party - building brand was established by the Zhelin Court. “Shangxue” means advocating learning, representing the brand's aim to create an excellent learning platform. It guides Party members to value and love learning, continually improving their political qualities and professional abilities, thereby ensuring fair justice.

The “Zheli Shangxue” logo takes the pursuit of fairness and justice as its creative core, while also integrating three elements: Cudrania tricuspidata (Carr.) Bur. ex Lavallee, the court’s balance scale, and books. The central part of the logo is the Cudrania tricuspidata (Carr.) Bur. ex Lavallee, representing the natural beauty of Zhelin, while also symbolizing the court's deep roots in this land. On both sides of the logo are balance scales, representing the court’s pursuit of fairness and justice. At the top are books, symbolizing the court’s spirit of continuous learning and proactive progress.

II. Key Practices for Party Building- The “Five Learning” Mechanism

First is leading learning by all party members. Based on the individual strengths of party members, all party members are taking on leadership roles in learning activities. Party members leading the learning focus on topics related to ideology, current affairs, and professional knowledge. By adopting this learning approach, each party member transitions from being a supporting role to the leading role, achieving excellent learning outcomes.

Second is diverse learning promotion. “Online learning promotion” involves introducing education to the cloud, integrating fragmented time for online learning. “Case-based style for learning promotion” involves holding regular warning education sessions at the end of each month, conducting clean government education through typical cases. “Examination-driven style for learning promotion” involves insisting on examination after learning, organizing monthly political theory assessments on required technical knowledge and skills to improve learning efficiency. “Supervision-driven style for learning promotion” involves conducting supervision and inspection through regular heart-to-heart talks to ensure the effectiveness of learning.

Third is collaborative group learning. To promote the integration of party building business and enhance the ability of party members to serve the overall situation, Zhelin Court, together with judicial office within the jurisdiction, police stations, law firms, and village party branches, has established the “police station, judicial office, legal service office and one tribunal” + “Zheli Guardians” collaborative group learning model. Currently, focusing on issues such as how the rule of law promotes rural revitalization and how conflicts and disputes are resolved at the grassroots level, multiple learning activities have been conducted.

Fourth is in-depth research learning. By forming two research teams led by senior judges, who lead the teams to grassroots levels to understand the urgent needs and concerns of the people, through writing information briefings, statistical analysis, typical cases, judicial suggestions, research papers, etc., to help improve the legal application capabilities of cadres and police officers, and provide decision-making references for local party committees and governments.

Fifth is door-to-door learning promotion. Zhelin Court emphasizes extending its judicial functions by bringing the court to several universities within the jurisdiction, conducting circuit trials, mock courts, etc., allowing college students to have “zero-distance” contact with the law. At the same time, Zhelin Court brought the court into communities and villages to preach the Constitution and interpret the law, making the “court at the doorstep” more and more practical.

III. Party Building Achievement

First is the rich Party building atmosphere in departmental work. Through a series of learning activities, branch party members are familiar with using party language and concepts, enhancing the sense of responsibility among court staff. In terms of business operations, judicial practices are more standardized, leading to an improvement in the judicial satisfaction of the people.

Second is the vigorous enhancement of capabilities. The department has cultivated a strong atmosphere of learning, often witnessing judges becoming deeply engrossed in legal issues and collaborating intensively to tackle difficult cases. Materials written by multiple party members have been published in newspapers such as People’s Court Daily and Shanghai Law Journal. In December 2023, the White Paper on the Trial of Private Lending Cases was released, showcasing the capabilities and wisdom of branch party members and cadres and police officers.

Third is the excellent results achieved by focusing on the core business. In 2023, the average number of cases concluded per judge in the court was 368.5, with the rate of satisfactory settlements without appeal of 92.24%. These achievements are attributable to solid theoretical learning and professional training.
