The Current Operation and Improvement Path of the Pre-trial Conference System in Criminal Proceedings
Since the formal establishment of the pre-trial conference system in criminal proceedings in 2012,it has played a significant role in promoting the substantialization of court trials,and improving the efficiency and quality of trials.However,from the perspective of judicial application,the application of pre-trial conferences is insufficient,and there is even a potential risk of being hollowed out.Therefore,while analyzing the genesis of the pre-trial conference system,this paper also clarifies the reasons for the overall low application in practice.Based on this,the system is specifically designed from two dimensions:the functional positioning of the system and its practical direction.
