Constructing Court Culture as a Method of Judicial Values Education for Judges in China

Abstract

China officially calls on massive constructions of court culture and tries to promote and educate judicial core values recent years. This paper offers theories of cultural psychology as useful tools and scopes to measure and interpret those new attempts and examines the practice of court culture construction in the case of a small cell—a base court in Zhejiang province, eastern China since 2010. It finds out that, although culture engineering prevails than artistic treatment, it does obtain some obvious positive effects. While, whether this result is representative enough still needs further investigations.
