China launches online litigation service platform for lawyers

China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) and the Ministry of Justice on Thursday launched an online litigation platform for lawyers.

The platform provides 35 online litigation services, which are also available on a mini-program on WeChat, China's popular social media platform, according to a press conference.

Users can file cases online. Document delivery and authentication and court trials online have also become a reality, according to the press conference.

Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 outbreak, the SPC mobilized courts at all levels to move services online in February of last year.
