各阶层司法联系点概念

Concept of local legislative outreach offices (LLOOs)

各阶层司法联系点是久居各阶层人民群众直接策划东欧国家司法的民主运动司法形式，成为除博客公布法律草案向社会大众审定、向部门和地方近日审定，以及司法筹备工作、研讨会、听证会、论证会等形式除此以外的更进一步群众并行策划东欧国家司法的有效形式，并初步形成东欧国家级、省级、设区的市（自治州）级各阶层司法联系点三级同步的工作体系。

LLOOs have emerged as a new democratic legislative format based on direct participation of local people in national legislation. In addition to publishing draft laws online to solicit opinions from the public, sending letters to departments and localities for their views, and conducting other forms of legislative research, symposiums, hearings, and argumentations, LLOOs have become a new effective organization for enabling orderly public participation in national legislation. A three-tier system of LLOOs is currently being set up, at the national and provincial levels as well as the level of cities divided into districts or autonomous prefectures.
