Abstract:

The interference of administrative power in judicial power has been the root of impediment to the internal judicial independence.
In juridical practice,judicatory under the administrative influence has seriously restricted the effective realization
of the value of people’s jury system,and the weakened People’s jury system has also provided a space for the rise of administrative
influence on judicatory. At present,some of the defects in people’s jury system in China caused the phenomenon of
“accompany but not judge,collaborate but not disagree”. The author suggest that the people’s jury system should be improved
in the following several aspects: on the basis of assessor system mode,the focuses of the people’s juror and the judge during
the judicial process should be adjusted by taking lessons from the experience of the jury system model,so that the people’s
juror play a major role in fact-finding and the judge in the application of law;the number of people’s assessors in a collegiate
panel should be increased to realize the change from“juror in minority”to“juror in majority”;and the viewpoint of people’s
juror should also be included in the judgment. The improvement of people’s jury system surly can soften the negative impact
of the judicatory under administrative influence on people’s jury system and promote the de-administration in judicial power.
Therefore,the improvement of people’s jury system can be an effective way to realize judicial internal independence.

Key words: internal judicial independence;people&rsquo, s jury system;people&rsquo, s juror;judicatory with administrative characteristic;
unity of interrogation and judgment
