The reform and perfection of the judicial assistant system in China should achieve the following goals: first, free judges from the tedious judicial affairs, concentrate on "trial" and "judgment", carefully study cases and the application of laws, and ensure judicial justice; Second, all kinds of judicial assistants should be equipped with clear levels, clear responsibilities and fine division of labor to ensure the efficient operation of the trial process. As judicial assistants, they should complete some operational and practical work, such as filing a case, presiding over pre-trial meetings, exchanging evidence, presiding over mediation, presiding over motion review or hearing, etc. , which does not involve the core judicial power enjoyed by the core judges, they have to undertake subordinate work and other affairs around the judges. Can't say that the requirements are too high. Therefore, judicial assistants should not only be proficient in legal knowledge, but also have excellent professional skills in order to fully assist judges in completing a large number of trial tasks and prepare for being appointed as judges in the future.
For judicial assistants, a clear scope of responsibilities requires them to deal with matters completely within their own scope of responsibilities within a prescribed time limit. On the one hand, they can skillfully handle judicial affairs in their own division of labor, help judges arrange their work as quickly as possible, facilitate judges to make inquiries and decisions at any time, and thus assist judges efficiently; On the other hand, because they have no right to decide the substantive content of the trial, they can't exert undue influence on the trial result, which can effectively ensure the fairness of the judge's ruling. Judicial assistants should be positioned to serve the judge's trial work, let the judge get rid of paperwork, and devote their main energy to the trial of cases, which is conducive to fundamentally ensuring the quality of handling cases.
