Courts set to improve efficiency

Move aims to relieve burden of case hearings on Supreme People's Court, official says

Two new circuit courts - one in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, and the other in Zhengzhou, Henan province - were established on Wednesday to improve judicial efficiency and reduce the burden of case hearings on the Supreme People's Court.

All 12 presiding judges of the Third Circuit Court in Nanjing will be from the top court. The presiding judges, with an average age of 45, each have at least 10 years of experience.
