The year 2022 marks a milestone of implementing the requirements of the 14^th Five-Year Plan and the specific requirements of the Five-Year Development Plan of the Informatization Construction of the People’s Courts （2021-2025） and also represents an important period of making continued efforts to construct the “Version 4.0 of the people’s court informatization，with knowledge as the center，intelligent courts as the core and judicial data middle office as the engine”. In 2022，the informatization construction of the Chinese courts made a steady progress in that the litigation services became more accessible to people，the trial and execution work got more efficient thanks to the intelligent applications，and the judicial management based on vast data and intelligent analysis were more precise. Judicial big data enhanced social governance capability and level in all aspects and litigation system achieved the leapfrog development in this era of informatization. In spite of the new breakthroughs and achievements，the informatization construction of Chinese courts is still confronted by some problems，including the contradiction between innovation and conservatism when all the costs are limited，the challenges faced by intelligent courts in addressing the people’s differentiated interests，the prominent defects with data quality，data use and information security，and the diversity of value pursuit and effect evaluation criteria. In the informatization construction of Chinese courts，continued efforts will be made to adhere to the people-centric principle，follow the problem-oriented direction，respect the judicial laws，enhance the judicial data-based governance capability while more IT applications are put into use，reconcile business innovation with regional balanced development，and build a team of informatization talents who are adept at both business and technology.
