Fair-minded Judge Satisfies All People

In the Yulin City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local people all praise Pan Jingkui, a delegate of the 16th CPC National Congress and Yulin Intermediate People's Court judge, as a fair-minded adjudicator who satisfies all people.

In the Yulin City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local people all praise Pan Jingkui, a delegate of the 16th CPC National Congress and Yulin Intermediate People's Court judge, as a fair-minded adjudicator who satisfies all people.

In a land rights dispute case between two villagers over the use of a ditch the conflict was so enormous that Feng Guizhong, defendant in the case, gathered dozens of people in front of the court to claim that they would fight for their rights if they considered the judge's decision to be unfair. In order to make clear sense of the case, Pan Jingkui and her colleagues immediately investigated the scene and summoned both the parties to the court. In the end, an impartial judgment prevented a potential mjlie from breaking out.

Feng Guizhong, a villager from the town of Rendong in Yulin's Yuzhou District, said: "We were all satisfied with the decision made by presiding judge Pan. Everybody thought the verdict was fair and just."

From the economic court to the court of "supervision and review," Pan Jingkui made no mistakes presiding over hundreds of cases. In order to make the process of adjudication clear to all parties concerned, Pan and her colleagues bravely revolutionized the practices surrounding the hearing of witnesses. Pan allows for both parties to have enough time and sufficient opportunities to present evidence. This has enabled some cases of appeal to be settled with a minimum of fuss.

Pan said: "I am proud to have been selected as a delegate for the 16th CPC National Congress. I regard it as an honor and an inspiration to continue with my practices. I will donate my life to the cause of great trials."
