According to the Xinhua News Agency report, the content of the "Draft" pointed out that the Chief Executive should appoint a number of judges from the current or qualified former magistrates, district court judges, judges of the Court of First Instance of the High Court, judges of the Court of Appeal and judges of the Court of Final Appeal, Judges can also be appointed from temporary or special committee judges to handle crimes against national security.

According to the data, there are currently 7 special judges, of which the more familiar is the former chairman of the Bar Association Tan Yunzhi, and there are also senior barristers He Dongming, Bao Yongnian, Huang Jiming, Feng Tingshuo, Wan Chongli and Zheng Huixin.
