The People’s Republic of China’s “litigation society” has arrvied earlier, causing unprecedented challenges to the court. The court shall not continue its “going it alone” approach anymore, and shall initiate new working styles to break away from current obstacles, better resolve social contradictions, and serve the modernization of socialismbased rule of law, which subsequently lead to the birth of judicial linkage. Due to the severity of environmental problems and the position of environmental justice as a cutttingedge area with weak self-power, it’s challenging to optimize the environmental protection impact only with the input from environmental judicial agencies. In addition, the proceedings of environmental litigations shall be different from that of regular civil litigations, therefore the judicial linkage of the environmental civil public interest litigations becomes particularly essential. This article aims to implement such judicial linkage by establishing a judgement-centric “concentric circles” system in the environmental civil public interest litigations. The said system is comprised of four “concentric circles”, including the environmental judicial agencies’ internal linkages, environmental justice’s internal and external linkages, and the linkage of the environmental justice and dynamic dispute resolutions, which are all judgment-centric with different scopes of “radius” and are thus collectively referred to as the “concentric circles” system. |
