Learning lessons from judges

Li Qi, 25, a doctoral student specializing in the Constitution and administrative law at China University of Political Science and Law, was an intern at the Supreme People's Court in 2016. He talked to Cao Yin about the lessons he learned from judges on effectively helping litigants.

An elderly couple whose son died in a detention house after being caught for intentional injury in Hunan province impressed me a lot when I worked for the top court's State compensation department from May to November in 2016.

Wiping away tears, the couple bowed to the court when we met them. On that day, they came to us to withdraw their application for State compensation for their son, because our judges had ordered local police to apologize to them and take the initiative to pay the money for their mistake.
