If there is inequity between people, the resolution of these inequities should be adapted to their nature and degree.Chinese people have the tradition of mediating a dispute.For two adverse parties who would like to accept that the masses mediate their contradiction, there are people’s mediation commissions organized at the grass roots-level in our country.The commissions are specially responsible for every kind of dispute and minor criminal offenses.Slightly larger civil disputes can be submitted for arbitra- tion.Misdemeanors may be charged by the Security Safeguard Commission at the grass roots-level and local police stations.There are also reform schools and re-education through labor schools in metropolitan areas and large towns that are specially responsible for eradicating juvenile delin- quency.Only those cases which cannot be resolved by the above solutions, may be brought before the people’s courts for trial in civil procedure.The above is the complete working system in our country to deal with civil and criminal cases.
　5.Legal effect of terms of a contract
　The legal effect of a contract has significance in the identification of economic crime cases.This is an important subject in modern society in the field of judicial activity.
　The terms of a contract are certain to be binding upon the two parties, otherwise, their economic relationship might be more complex and confused and resulting disputes may be impossible to solve.In any case, the intentions at a given time and circumstance can be interpreted as the criteria for assigning responsibility, including civil and criminal.One significant principle prescribed in Chinese law is taking the fact as a basis and the law as a crite- rion, which is the fundamental principle to legally evaluate the disputes over a contract.
　As a whole, the exchange of thoughts can improve mutual understanding in the field of legal culture.It is realistically and historically significant to hold so great an international conference, and from this point of view, people today and future generations will remember it.
