On December 11, 2023, in order to actively respond to the government's call to "adhere to and develop the 'Fengqiao experience' in the new era to build a solid foundation for the harmonious and stable development of society", director lawyer Gong Shaopeng, as a member of the Social Law Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, together with lawyer Wu Jie, participated in the public welfare activity of legal consultation for letters and visits of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress Lawyer and the Municipal People's Congress. Taking the implementation of the Regulations on Letters and Visits as an opportunity, the legal consultation activities on letters and visits aim to actively promote the rule of law in letters and visits, put letters and visits on the track of rule of law, safeguard the rights and interests of the masses in accordance with the law, standardize the order of letters and visits, promote the modernization of letters and visits through the rule of law in letters and visits, and accelerate the construction of a new pattern of high-quality development of letters and visits.
On a busy Monday, there was an endless stream of visitors from the Letters and Visits Office of the Municipal People's Congress, and lawyer Gong Shaopeng and lawyer Wu Jie assisted Director Li and Director Feng of the Letters and Visits Office of the Municipal People's Congress to receive the visitors. Consultations run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. During the visit, the two lawyers patiently listened to the demands of each visitor with professional legal knowledge and rich practical experience, deeply understood the source of the petition, guided the petitioners to express their demands rationally in accordance with the law, protect their legitimate rights and interests, and provided accurate and effective legal opinions and suggestions for the visitors. In response to reasonable demands, publicize and explain the specific provisions of the law and the remedies for judicial procedures, and do a good job of policy interpretation and psychological counseling for unreasonable demands. Legal consultation on petitions not only provides assistance to the reasonable demands of visitors in accordance with the provisions of the law and procedures, but also provides legal protection for petition work, and actively promotes "problem solving, ending complaints and boycotting petitions".
With the hazy twilight outside, the public interest service of lawyers' legal consultation has come to an end for the time being, but the pace of helping the high-quality development of petition work has not stopped. After the consultation work on the same day, lawyer Gong Shaopeng and lawyer Wu Jie actively participated in the review meeting of the visit work organized by the Letters and Visits Office of the Municipal People's Congress. At the meeting, the two lawyers closely reported on the difficulties and key cases encountered in the consultation work on the day, deeply analyzed the legal problems existing in the process of visiting and consulting, conducted professional analysis and research, and provided legal advice, so as to provide legal support for improving the resolution rate of petition cases.
