Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, marking anew historical juncture in the judicial development in contemporary China. A major political assessment was announced at the 19th National Congress of the CPC that the principal contradiction facing Chinese society in the new era has evolved, which creates many new demands for China’s judicial development. It is undoubtedly of theoretical and practical significance to the study of the inherent relationship between the profound changes in the principal contradiction facing Chinese society and China's judicial development based on the combination of theory and practice. Moreover, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society in the new era has exerted a profound effect on the judicial field. In this new historical context, people's needs for judicial safeguard, judicial justice, judicial effect, judicial process, judicial credibility, judicial authority and other aspects have showed new characteristics, making new demands on establishing a new judicial system to effectively satisfy the people's new needs. Therefore, we must see that the people-centered judicial idea be established as the basic value principle in the high-quality development of our people's judicature in the new era considering the basic conditions of our national justice system. We must realize the periodic characters of China's judicial development in the new era, and meet people's needs for justice effectively, which shall be regarded as the starting point and ultimate goal of high-quality development of justice system. We must strive to safeguard and achieve social fairness and justice, and see that our people can feel fairness and justice in every court verdict. We must ensure that further progress has been made in the high-quality development of people's judicature, and take it as the basic evaluation criterion of deepening the comprehensive reform in the judicial system so as to unceasingly provide more complete judicial products and service of quality. We must properly handle the relations between judicial justice and judicial efficiency to reflect the judicial value of “efficient justice” and establish a judicial system to resolve the dispute effectively. We must work to strengthen and improve the construction of Intelligent Judiciary, and vigorously promote deep integration of scientific and technical rationality and judicial rationality, so as to inject a strong impetus to the development of the judicial system of quality and realize the modernization of China's judicial system in the new era.
