Title: Setting up the Mechanism of On-court Verdict
Abstract: The selection between on-court verdict and off-court verdict is studied. In China most of various courts are selecting the off-court verdict for different cases. Analyzes the causes of such a selection and its advantages and disadvantages. It is expected that the on-court verdict will be the predominant selection in China because it adapts to the requirements of improving trial efficiency, saves on litigious resource and perfecting judges' competence along with the thorough reform of judicial system and trial mechanism. To meet the requirements for on-court verdict, some necessary measures are suggested to take, including clarifying further the power and duty of judges, granting the independent jurisdiction to chief judges, perfecting the regulations to call judges to account for their misfeasance, readjusting the function of judicial committee, executing strictly the trial period and stepping up the effort to train/educate judges.
