metadata.value: The development of information technology has made the electronic reform of court records
  possible. As a new type of court records media, audio-video recordings have attracted attention
  worldwide. Driven by the National Informatisation and Internet Power strategies, China has
  formed its own operational paradigm in this regard. According to Several Provisions of the Supreme
  People’s Court on the Audio-Video Recordings of Courts Trials by the People’s Courts,
  electronic reforms for court records in China currently follow a quasi-parallel paradigm, in which
  audio-video recordings may replace traditional trial transcripts within the scope of summary
  procedure with the consent of the parties involved. This mode of reform is consistent with China’s
  tradition of gradual reform. It is not only affirms the application of information technology
  in the court record system but also considers differences in procedures. However, it is more
  similar to a “prudent attempt” at electronic reforms made under the existing legal framework
  of litigation, representing a bridge between legislation and judicial practice, and has not responded
  to the impact of information technology on the court record system to the maximum
  extent. From the theoretical perspectives of essentialism and functionalism, the standard mode
  of electronic reform for court records needs to be prioritised by the courts by considering the
  rights of litigants. A parallel paradigm can then be constructed, whereby audio-video recordings
  hold the same legality as trial transcripts. Furthermore, this reform process should strengthen
  the coordination mechanisms between the development of legality, system coordination, and a
  balance of interests to effectively guarantee electronic reforms for court records.
