Abstract：Abstract: By observing the relevant policy-makers’ speeches, act and the practice of the courts at all levels, we found Chinese judicial activism conveys three layers of meanings: first, it is a judicial policy aimed to solve the present problems in the administration of Justice. Second, it is a judicial idea which has brought out the “activism” and “service” concept. Third, it is a kind of judicial strategy with the final purpose of seeking judicial independence in China. All of the three meanings above show no signs of direct connections between Chinese judicial activism and that of the West. The policy-makers’ mission has completed since the appearance of the idea of judicial activism. The next task is to transform judicial activism from the policy, idea and strategy level into legal, positive and reality one. Legal methodology is expected to be the only way to the transformation.
