The "Selection and Award of Excellent Programs on Government Websites", organized by the E-Government Council for 11 consecutive years from 2010 to 2022, has been widely acclaimed by the public and received increasing attention from the media. In 2022, the innovation in government services was promoted by a wide range of positive outcomes including launch of government service websites as well as mobile "micro-government", "micro-court", and "micro-service" across regions and sectors.

A program called "The Voice of Judge" on the English website of Guangzhou Maritime Court (GZMC) was recognized as an excellent program on a government website in 2022, and thus GZMC was invited to attend the conference on the creation of excellent programs and sharing of management practices. It is among the 24 selected programs on court websites nationwide. It will be presented via a special section in China's E-Government Yearbook (2022).

"The Voice of Judge" was launched on April 20, 2015. As a brand-new type of video program rolled out on GZMC website in English for the international community, it is dedicated to introducing China's maritime trial laws and judicial practices through young judges. Since its creation, the program has been upgraded twice, from the dull content of a judge sitting before a table and talking out legal provisions to a more vivid, technology-aided quality presentation of maritime legal stories, in keeping pace with the times.

One episode of "The Voice of Judge" is presented quarterly, lasting about 10 minutes. Since its first episode debuted on April 20, 2015, 28 episodes have been released, helping the world better understand China, making known China's maritime trials, serving China's Belt and Road Initiative and maritime power strategy, and improving the international image of China's judiciary.

Designed and resented in a way easily understandable to foreign viewers, "The Voice of Judge" serves as a promoter of Chinese rule of law and foreign-related matters and has far-reaching significance in the publicity and education of foreign-related rule of law. It is becoming a model program for China's maritime courts in carrying out the publicity and education of foreign-related maritime trials and building a characteristic culture. In this program, maritime judges leave the bench and share maritime legal knowledge through typical cases with people across the globe.
