ABSTRACT

The "Pujiang Experience" refers to the practice where leading cadres visit the grassroots level in person to receive and listen to the demands of the people, transforming the situation from the people's initiative to visit to the cadres' initiative to visit. The "Pujiang Experience" draws on the principle of power restraint common to the Anglo-American legal system, the civil law system, and the socialist legal system. It achieves "judicial activism" by establishing a performance evaluation mechanism and constructing a standardized incentive mechanism. The "Pujiang Experience" has a close theoretical connection with the "Fengqiao Experience". The post-event mediation of the "Pujiang Experience" complements the pre-event intervention of the "Fengqiao Experience". The "Pujiang Experience" offers the following implications for procuratorial organs: prioritizing stability and development and enhancing the prevention of social risks; focusing on strong supervision and proactive action to prevent judicial risks of doubt; focusing on optimizing service paths to prevent governance risks of limitation; and emphasizing practical results to prevent risks of deviated guidance.
