Because people cannot get justice through the courts, unrest has skyrocketed nationwide in recent years: official statistics record more than 200 protests a day, four times the number a decade ago. The central authorities have recognized the link between abuses, unrest, and the need to develop legal services for preventing the escalation of disputes.
因为人民无法通过法院获得公正，最近几年全国的骚乱呈直线上升的态势：官方的统计显示每天有超过200起的抗议事件，这是十年前的四倍。中央当局已经认识到了滥用权力、骚乱和发展法律服务以制止抗议上升的态势的需要之间的联系。中国总理温家宝去年承认农村的抗议声是因为“有些地方政府非法占用农民的土地”，并且承诺“提供有效的法律服务和法律援助以便给那些提起诉讼有困难的人提供有效的帮助”。
