Abstract:As an indispensable part of the socialist judicial system with Chinese characteristics, the people’s jury system is not only a key carrier for the people to understand the judiciary, get close to the judiciary, and participate in the judiciary, but also an important step for the advancement of the national governance system and governance capacity in judicial field. However, the people’s jury system does not work satisfactorily in practice. Not only are the functions of demonstrating judicial democracy, embodying judicial openness, and promoting judicial justice not fully brought into play, but the people’s jurors often do not play their proper roles and thus are nothing more than “scarecrows in the court”. Although the Law of People’s Jurors epitomizes the theoretical exploration and experimental experience of the people’s jury system reform in recent years, there are still some unreasonable provisions, the provisions on the challenge system in particular, which treat jurors who are amateur participants in the judiciary the same as judges who are professional jurists. This does not help realize the goal of promoting judicial justice and improving judicial credibility. Therefore,we need to design a challenge system in line with the characteristics of the people’s jury system.
