Supreme People's Court

The Constitution states that the people's courts of the PRC are the judicial organs of the state. The PRC establishes a Supreme People's Court, local people's courts at all levels, and special people's courts such as military courts. 

The Supreme People's Court is the highest judicial organ. It is responsible for hearing cases of all types, making judicial interpretation, and supervising the administration of justice by the local people's courts at all levels and the special people's courts. It also supervises, within the limits of its authority prescribed by the law, the judicial administration of all courts across the country.

The term of office of the president of the Supreme People's Court is the same as that of the NPC. The president serves no more than two consecutive terms.

The Supreme People's Court is responsible to and reports on its work to the NPC and its Standing Committee. In addition to hearing cases, the Supreme People's Court also manages and coordinates the enforcement of all courts, for which it has set up an enforcement bureau to take charge.
