Abstract: With the promulgation and implementation of "the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on forensic appraisal administration",forensic appraisal institutions are advancing in the direction of socialization,i.e.,privatization.From the practice of the past two years,although some progress has been made,there have also been a lot of problems,particularly the conflict between the institution’s tendency of maximizing profits and the society’s request of serving public welfare.It is now an urgent issue to construct independent and impartial forensic appraisal institutions.This paper starts with the analysis on the status quo of forensic appraisal after the enactment of the Decision mentioned above,dissects the main characteristics and existing problems of Chinese forensic appraisal institutions from a practical angle,tries to define the nature of the forensic appraisal institutions to certain extent,and argues that in order to rebuild the authority and enhance the credibility of forensic appraisal,it is necessary to establish institutions under a comprehensive structure consisting of national,provincial,city,and county institutions specializing in forensic appraisal.
