In recent years, China has made noticeable achievements in implementing the strategy of west development. In the meantime of developing Tibet in a stable and rapid manner, it also confronts with various challenges. In the new developing phase, there will be new requirements. For the entire judicial system in Tibet autonomous region, the status and roles of judicature are being strengthened and the contradiction between the increasing judicial demands of Tibet people and the relatively lagged-behind judicial functions of people’s courts has been eased gradually. In response to the general requirement from the central government to deepen judicial system reform and performance mechanism reform, to fulfill scientific development of people’s courts so as to better meet the requirements of general public toward judicial performance and better maintain social equity, the Supreme People’s Court unveiled the Five Years Reform Outline of People s Court (2009-2013)(hereinafter referred to as the Outline) and issued the notice of Several Suggestions for the Supreme People’s Court to Further Strengthen the Basic Infrastructure Construction of People’s Courts under New Circumstances (hereinafter referred to as the Suggestions) in2011.

The practical issue to be addressed is how to transform the objective assessment released from the superior level into the performance assessment of each specific court. As an important content of court management, the establishment and optimization of locally appropriate and scientific performance assessment system is of vital significance.On the basis of the practical situations in Tibet, this article combines the status quos of people’s court management and performance assessment of County L and attempts to study the design of the performance assessment system after analyzing the problems of the performance assessment and its procedures adopted by people’s courts in County L by using related theories of modern performance assessment.The article is composed of five parts as follows:Chapter Ⅰ:Introduction.
