That fact that our courts have been in exploring on the Publication of Judgment Documents on the Internet for 10 years is fragmented,many problems was exposed as follows: first of all,the practice of "judgment document" is not unified,the criminal and civil judgment documents are not distinguish on the Internet;secondly,the standard of "no access" and the reason why not public on-line are uniformed;thirdly the balance between the protection of the privacy and the Publication of Judgment Documents on the Internet was not enough,anonymous treatments cannot eliminate the invasion of privacy issues that may arise;in addition,the audit mechanism on the Publication of Judgment Documents on the Internet is too rigid,and remedial measures are difficult to distinguish from each other,the mechanisms which is in response to the public opinion are obviously insufficient.Accordingly,the measures to improve and unify the content of judgment documents,to make balance between the judgment documents access and privacy protection should be taken.Also,we need adjust the mechanism of judgment documents access and reform remedy mechanisms of remediation.
