Today, May 28th, continuing the program of the 7th session, the National Assembly held a plenary session in the Assembly Hall to discuss the draft Law on the Organization of People's Courts (amended). Delegate Hoang Duc Thang, Deputy Head of the Quang Tri Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies, participated in the discussion.
Participating in the debate on the National Assembly deputies' views regarding the regulations on reforming the organization of provincial and district-level People's Courts according to their jurisdiction (Clause 1, Article 4) of the draft Law on the Organization of People's Courts (amended), Deputy Hoang Duc Thang stated that this is an issue on which many National Assembly deputies and the public still have differing opinions because it is a new model, fundamentally changing the functions, tasks, and organization of provincial and district-level People's Courts, while the basic understanding of this new model still has many different interpretations. Many concerns remain about this model, which has not been fully and convincingly evaluated.

According to the delegates, the fault here doesn't seem to lie in the progressive model itself, as many countries around the world have already implemented, as many delegates have analyzed. Therefore, perhaps the shortcoming is that we weren't prepared for its introduction, and we paid a heavy price for our hasty decisions stemming from subjective and impatient will. A new model might be correct in the future, but it cannot be considered correct until its "timing" is complete and appropriate.
Our approach to lawmaking only incorporates issues that are mature, certain, and have been tested in practice.
Therefore, the delegates suggested that the National Assembly, when not fully prepared, should not rush to decide on this new model. Instead, the National Assembly should continue to provide feedback so that relevant agencies can further research and supplement the practical basis, demonstrate, and fully assess the impact of this new model. At that point, the National Assembly can decide whether to amend or supplement a law, which would not be difficult.
Therefore, the delegates' view supporting Option 1, which is to maintain the current organizational model of provincial and district-level People's Courts for the time being, avoiding disruption and undesirable consequences, is cautious, sound, and necessary at this time.
