I am delighted to see courts becoming 'intelligent'

Cai Songlin, 54, is a senior judicial official at the Shushan District People's Court in Hefei, capital of Anhui province.

I never thought I would be able to use a computer to receive case materials provided by litigants or contact them via our computer system. I have witnessed many changes during more than 30 years in the legal profession, and I am delighted to see Chinese courts becoming more "intelligent".

In 1985, when I began work in the court's case-submission department, I used a bicycle to visit litigants and deliver judicial documents to other authorities. That's no longer necessary. A new online system, part of our efforts to build an intelligent court, has been welcomed by judges and litigants because it improves efficiency and saves time.
