Zhong Zhang Introduction  

Evidence  system construction has been one  of the important tasks of judicialreform. In 2009, The Third Five-Year Reform Program put forward specific measures for the evidence system, including improving criminal evidence law, developing rules to review  the  criminal  evidence, unifying  standards for admissible  evidence; establishing and improving the system for eyewitnesses and expert to present in court and system for their protection, clarifying the scope and procedures for investigation personnel to testify in court; further improving the rules of evidence in civil litigation,etc..1  After  many  years,  significant achievements has been made  in the  evidence system, but many  provisions  relating  to the  content of  evidence  rules are  crude, logically  confusing, even contradictory, and the  system of  evidence  rules yet to be formed. In view of  this situation, and in  collaboration with the Supreme People’s Court, China University of Political Science and Law carried out a research project on“rules of  litigation evidence  in people's court”, to conduct a  comprehensive sort on existing  rules of  evidence  in the three  procedural laws and relevant judicial interpretations, adhering to the relevance as the main logic line, with value basis on accuracy, impartiality, harmony and efficiency, to complete the program of the three major  litigation rules of  evidence  into one  legal  document, and to enact a  rule  of evidence applicable to various judicial cases of the people's courts.
