Achieving social equity and justice is the great goal established at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session, but also the common expectation of the whole society. “Decision of the CPC Central Committee on the Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Promoting the Rule by Law” passed by the party's Fourth Plenary Session: justice is the lifeblood of the rule of law. As a last resort for settling the dispute, justice is the last line of defense to maintain social fairness and justice. In China, miscarriages of justice, judicial corruption and judicial negative news occur from time to time, which seriously damaged the credibility of judicature. Furthermore, coupled with the uncertainty caused by the judicial culture of valuing appeal and belittling litigation, the judicial maintenance of the role of social fairness and justice has not been fully realized. Judicial reform should be comprehensively promoted at the level of legislation, judicial practice and institutional safeguards to ensure justice and let the people feel judicial fairness and justice in each case.%实现社会公平正义是党的十八大及十八届三中全会确立的伟大目标，也是全社会的共同期待。党的十八届四中全会通过的《中共中央关于全面推进依法治国若干重大问题的决定》指出：公正是法治的生命线。司法作为定纷止争的最后手段，是维护社会公平正义的最后一道防线。在我国，由于冤假错案的不时出现、司法腐败和司法负面消息的不时传出，严重损害了司法威信，加之我国重访轻诉的司法文化造成司法的确定性不足，致使司法在维护社会公平正义方面的作用没有得到充分发挥。司法改革应从立法层面、司法实践层面、制度保障方面全面推进，确保司法公正，以期让人民群众在每一个司法案件中都能感受到公平正义。
