The Supreme People’s Court also released an online map of Chinese courts for the convenience of the public. The map covers basic information of more than 3,000 Chinese courts, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and post codes. It also gives brief introductions to the courts and their institutions.

What’s more, the top court issued some suggestions on further promoting people’s well-being and selected 17 service items to be delivered as comics. It’s the first time the top court has released legislation through comics.

The National Constitution Day was approved at the 11th session of the 12th NPC Standing Committee on Nov 11, 2014.
