Research on the Path of Perfecting the Selection System of People's Assessors

The system of people's assessors is a judicial system where assessors, chosen legally, participate in court trials, reflecting judicial democracy and justice, and fostering judicial democracy. However, the selection system of people's jurors still has some problems, such as lack of reasonable selection conditions, too long tenure, lack of supporting security system, and imperfect mechanism of jurors' withdrawal and replacement. Utilizing literature research, this paper delves into the historical evolution and legislative status of the Chinese people's jury selection system. By means of comparative analysis, this paper studies the legislative provisions on jury selection and appointment system in relevant countries. To perfect the system of selecting and appointing people's assessors, we should learn from the advanced experience of other countries, and conform to the national conditions and judicial practice. Consequently, it is necessary to expand the selection conditions of people's assessors, shorten the term of office, establish and improve the supporting security system, perfect the withdrawal and replacement mechanism, and give full play to the important role of people's assessors system in the process of judicial reform.
