Summary/Abstract: The text presents judicial reforms of the Supreme People’s Court of China (SPC). The author argues that during a twenty-year period, the role of the SPC has underwent two major transitions. Firstly, its role of a dispute solver evolved into a designer and a leading voice of the judicial system in China. Secondly, it shifted its position from a passive implementer of laws and policies into an active public policy maker. The text also offers an insight into the SPC’s enhancement of human rights protection, efforts to establish the evidence rule system, as well as its role in promoting judicial transparency.
