This is the important content in the presentation on the draft Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Organization of People's Courts presented by Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court Le Minh Tri at the program of the 9th Session of the 15th National Assembly.

Presenting a report at the 9th Session, Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court Le Minh Tri said that the draft law has amended and supplemented regulations on the organization of the Court system in the direction of ending the activities of the High People's Court and the District People's Court; establishing regional People's Courts; converting specialized first-instance People's Courts into specialized Courts within regional People's Courts.

Accordingly, the organizational model of the Court system includes: Supreme People's Court; People's Courts of provinces and centrally-run cities; Regional People's Courts.

Based on the organizational model of the 3-level Court system, the draft law amends and supplements regulations on the tasks, powers, and organizational structure of the Courts.

The notable point is the restructuring of district, county, town, provincial and municipal People's Courts into regional People's Courts. Regional People's Courts have specialized courts including: Criminal Court, Civil Court, Administrative Court, Economic Court, Family and Juvenile Court.

The draft also adds provisions that in some regional People's Courts there are Bankruptcy Courts and Intellectual Property Courts, the territorial jurisdiction of these specialized Courts is determined by the National Assembly Standing Committee.

Chief Justice Le Minh Tri said that the Supreme People's Court plans to organize 3 Bankruptcy Courts at 3 regional People's Courts in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City; and 2 Intellectual Property Courts at 2 regional People's Courts in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court Le Minh Tri said that the above regulations on specialized courts for Bankruptcy and Intellectual Property do not create new focal points, increase staff and working offices.
