在深圳市档案馆举办的“先行之路——深圳经济特区档案文献展”中，展示着一张深圳市中级人民法院创立之初的照片。当时的深圳市中级人民法院仅以三排简陋的瓦房作为办公场地，参观者无不感到惊讶且驻足细看。

In the Demonstration Road — Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Archives and Documents Exhibition held by the Shenzhen Archives, a photo of the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court at the beginning of its establishment is displayed. At that time, the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court had only three rows of simple tile-roofed houses as its office.

1979年3月，经国务院批准撤销宝安县成立深圳市后，原宝安县人民法院随之撤销，深圳市人民法院成立。1982年1月1日，深圳市人民法院撤销。同年2月1日，深圳市中级人民法院（下称市中级法院）成立。

In March 1979, the original People’s Court of Bao’an County was abolished and the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Court was established. On January 1, 1982, the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Court in turn was abolished. In its place, on February 1 of the same year, the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court (hereinafter referred to as the Municipal Intermediate Court) was established.

1982年2月1日，《关于成立深圳市中级人民法院的通知》

The February 1, 1982 Notice on the Establishment of the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court.

资料显示，成立之初，市中级法院只有3排简易的平房，不足100平方米的办公场地，仅有的刑事、民事、经济3个审判庭同时挤在一个不足12平米的房间里办公，条件非常简陋。那时，每当集中开会，干警们要自带座椅，聚集在“竹棚礼堂”。没有审判法庭，就找别的单位借房子、借场地，没有交通工具，干警们就步行、骑自行车奔走在纠纷现场。

Archives show that at the beginning of the establishment of the Municipal Intermediate Court, its facilities consisted only of three rows of simple one-story houses, which covered less than 100 square meters. Its criminal, civil and economic tribunals were crowded in a room of less than 12 square meters of office space. At that time, whenever meetings were held, the judicial officers had to bring their own chairs and gathered in the “Bamboo Shed Auditorium.”

如此简陋的环境，却孕育出屡创多个“全国首家”的深圳市中级法院。

Such a shabby environment had nonetheless given birth to the Municipal Intermediate Court, which has created many firsts in China.

随着深圳特区改革开放和经济建设的高速发展，经济纠纷案件大量增加，1988年，深圳两级法院受理的经济纠纷案件相当于1984年的15倍。为解决经济审判任务繁重、积案多、诉讼时间长的问题，1988年7月，市中级法院成立了全国法院第一个经济纠纷调解中心，该中心在审判方式上“以快对快”，简化程序，快速结案，到1993年，平均每件案的结案时间16天，最快的不到一小时。

With the reform and opening up of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and its rapid economic development, the number of economic dispute cases had greatly increased. The economic dispute cases received by Shenzhen courts at two levels in 1988 were equal to 15 times that of 1984. In order to solve the problem of burdensome economic trial tasks, overloaded backlogs and lengthy litigations, the Municipal Intermediate Court set up, in July 1988, a mediation center for economic disputes, which was the first of its kind in the country. By 1993, the average time to conclude a case was 16 days, and the fastest took less than one hour.

随着深圳“三来一补”“三资”企业的迅速发展，涉外经济纠纷也大量增多，为解决此类案件涉及面广、法律关系复杂、适用法律困难等问题，1988年7月，市中级法院成立了全国法院第一个涉外审判庭。当时全国法院受理涉外、涉港澳台案件总共200件，深圳就占了170件，涉外审判庭设立后，为全国受理此类案件的法院提供了“深圳经验”。

With the rapid development of enterprises engaged in processing and compensation trades and foreign-funded enterprises, foreign-related economic disputes also dramatically increased. In order to solve such cases, in July 1988, the first foreign-related trial court in China was set up by the Municipal Intermediate Court. At that time, the courts across the whole country received a total of 200 foreign-related cases and cases related to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, of which Shenzhen accounted for 170.

市中级法院的“全国首家”不胜枚举，经济纠纷调解中心、涉外审判庭的设立只是“竹棚礼堂”锐意改革的缩影。昔日的竹棚礼堂，已被信息化、现代化的办公大楼替代，临时简陋的审判庭已变成标准配置的科技法庭，市中级法院也将继续为特区的建设发展保驾护航。

Replacing the former “Bamboo Shed Auditorium” is an information-based and modern office building, and the temporary and humble courtroom has been transformed into a standard configuration courtroom complete with modern technology. Thus the Municipal Intermediate Court will continue to be an important escort of the construction and development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
