To Simplify Criminal Case Normal Cognizance Process is in the frame of present criminal litigant law, under the defendant's agreement, to simplify partial cognizance process for the case which have clear fact, sufficient evidence, defendant make guilty debate, and suit for normal cognizance process to close the case sooner.

Since unclear description and unreasonable process design, we cannot reasonable using these two different kinds of process to improve the cognizance efficiency as the law's tenet describes. China is in the transitional period from old system to new system. In this period, since the increase of all kinds of social conflicts and bate of criminal, the criminal cases increase rapidly. The shortage of judicial resources becomes more and more apparent.
