"The wisdom shown in bankruptcy trials relieved the difficulties and won the hearts of the people!" Recently, employee representatives of a food company in Dalian presented a bright red pennant to the Dalian Intermediate People's Court. In this bankruptcy liquidation case involving hundreds of millions of yuan in debt and the livelihoods of more than 1,700 employees, with the joint efforts of Dalian courts and relevant government departments, through an integrated plan for asset disposal, business restart, and employee placement, not only was the maximum value of the enterprise's core assets realized, but also the employees' rights and interests were fully protected, and some employees were re-employed through industrial connection. This warm scene is a vivid practice of the bankruptcy trial brand in Dalian courts' "Characteristic Judicial Brand Matrix" and a lively illustration of continuously optimizing the legal business environment to empower high-quality development.

Since August 2024, Dalian courts have closely followed the pulse of urban development. With the "Characteristic Judicial Brand Matrix" as the engine, they have innovatively launched the "7 + 12 + N" brand construction project. By promoting it in a project-based and systematic way, they strive to build a "three-dimensional, precise, and intelligent" judicial service system, laying a solid legal foundation for the high-quality development of Dalian's economy and society.

After more than a year of intensive efforts, the brand matrix has formed a positive development pattern of "leading at the top, driving at the middle, and supporting at the bottom". Currently, 5 brands have passed the acceptance assessment, 12 key cultivating brands have been upgraded to key enhancing brands, and 8 new key cultivating brands have been established. It has achieved full coverage in multiple fields such as civil and commercial, criminal, administrative, bankruptcy, intellectual property, foreign-related trials, enforcement, and Party building, allowing judicial services to penetrate all aspects of economic and social development and people's lives.

The systematic layout is the solid foundation for the steady and long-term development of the "Characteristic Judicial Brand Matrix" of Dalian courts. Dalian courts take brand building as the key guidance to promote their work to the forefront. They have established a scientific approach of "enhancing a group, cultivating a group, and reserving a group", and built a brand system with clear hierarchies and comprehensive coverage. In terms of coordinated promotion, a working pattern of vertical connection, horizontal linkage, and internal-external coordination has been constructed. The provincial-level courts conduct regular scheduling and guidance, the intermediate courts make overall planning, and the grass-roots courts actively implement the plans. With a united effort from top to bottom, development problems are solved. At the same time, various internal departments base on their responsibilities, share resources, and complement each other's advantages to form a joint force in promoting the work. Externally, they actively build brands by opening doors, conducting theoretical cooperation with universities to strengthen intellectual support, and seeking support from relevant departments to gather extensive social forces for brand building.

In addition, based on the judicial needs of different fields, Dalian courts specifically clarify the key points of each brand building. In key areas such as escorting high-quality development, optimizing the legal business environment, ensuring people's well-being, and serving opening-up, a number of characteristic brands continue to have an impact. They not only focus on core needs but also highlight professional advantages, enabling judicial services to precisely meet social expectations and providing all-around legal guarantee for economic and social development.

As the key cultivating brands of the provincial-level courts, the "Digital Enforcement" and "Juvenile Judicial Protection" brands have achieved remarkable results. The "Digital Enforcement" brand uses technological innovation to solve enforcement problems. It creates the first locally self-developed data center platform large-model of "One Network" in the country, builds a management system for mass cases, and uses 60 mobile case-handling terminals with equipment such as electronic seals and remote monitoring for full-area coverage. The real-estate special lines of 14 courts in the city are connected, and the time limit for enforcement nodes is reduced by nearly 50%, making enforcement work more efficient and transparent. The "Juvenile Judicial Protection" brand strengthens professional support and collaborative linkage. It expands the trial team to 51 judges, forms a professional think-tank composed of 39 university scholars, deepens the collaborative mechanism of "Six Protections", and constructs an all-around and three-dimensional juvenile judicial protection network through characteristic activities such as "The First Class of the New Semester" and "Little Judges' Training Camp".

Now, the "Characteristic Judicial Brand Matrix" of Dalian courts has become a powerful engine for high-quality development of judicial services. From the rebirth of bankrupt enterprises to the satisfactory settlement of minor civil cases, from the rapid resolution of financial disputes to the professional disposal of foreign-related affairs, each brand shines in its own field, responding to social expectations with the strength and warmth of justice.

Dalian courts will continue to deepen brand building, make up for development shortcomings, explore potential brands, continuously optimize the judicial service system, fully release the aggregation effect of the "Characteristic Judicial Brand Matrix", continuously optimize the legal business environment, and provide more solid and powerful legal guarantee for the practice of Chinese-style modernization in Dalian.
