I. Provisions on Accepting Criminal Cases of First Instance:
The Criminal Procedure Law clearly stipulates that people's courts at all levels shall have jurisdiction over criminal cases of first instance:
1. Article 19 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the basic people's courts shall have jurisdiction over ordinary criminal cases of first instance, except those that are under the jurisdiction of the people's courts at higher levels according to this Law. It can be seen from this provision that the grass-roots people's courts in China are the grass-roots trial levels of ordinary criminal cases of first instance, and ordinary criminal cases of first instance are under the jurisdiction of the grass-roots people's courts in principle.
2. Article 20 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the Intermediate People's Court shall have jurisdiction over the following criminal cases of first instance:
(1) Criminal cases endangering national security;
(2) Ordinary criminal cases that may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death penalty;
(3) Criminal cases of crimes committed by foreigners.
3. Article 2 1 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminal cases of first instance under the jurisdiction of the Higher People's Court are major criminal cases in the whole province (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government). The Higher People's Court is the highest court among local people's courts at all levels, that is, the highest judicial organ of a province (autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government). Its main tasks are to hear appeals and protests against judgments of intermediate people's courts, review death penalty cases, approve cases in which execution of death penalty is suspended for two years, and supervise the trial work of lower people's courts in the whole province (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government).
4. The criminal cases of first instance under the jurisdiction of the Supreme People's Court are major national criminal cases. The Supreme People's Court is the highest judicial organ in the country. In addition to approving the death penalty, the criminal cases tried in first instance in the Supreme People's Court should be limited to extremely rare criminal cases with great influence and particularly serious nature and circumstances throughout the country. It is beneficial for the Supreme Court to concentrate on supervising and guiding the trial work of the national people's courts.
Two. The court at the next higher level of the people's court in Xin Jing 'an District is the Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People's Court. ：
Announcement of Shanghai Jing 'an District People's Court:
In 20 15 and 10, the State Council approved the cancellation of Zhabei District and Jing 'an District and the establishment of New Jing 'an District. The original administrative areas of Zhabei District and Jing 'an District were the administrative areas of New Jing 'an District. In the same year, in 65438+February and 65438+May, the Supreme People's Court approved to cancel the people's courts in Jing 'an District and Zhabei District, and set up a new people's court in Jing 'an District, with the Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People's Court as the superior court.
