Xinhua News, 2009-04-05

In addition to soliciting applications from “talented people in all professional fields” to serve in the local People's Assessor (Jury) System—53 out of 637 applicants have been selected since 2006—the Gulou District Court in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, has released provisional regulations detailing the rights and obligations of assessor. Those rights include the “independent exercise of voting rights,” “right to request a case be handed on to a judicial committee for discussion,” and the “right for juror's dissenting opinions in collegiate bench-decided cases to be included in court notes.”
