The hook is interesting and the right length. The page has no copyright problems and each paragraph is referenced. The length has been increased 5 fold in less than seven days. The hook is a little long (c.210), could drop "the number of" to make it fit, if it is a big deal(@Zanhe). Reference for hook checks out. Page is neutral and of good quality. QPQ done.

 * Thanks for your review. I'm fine with the shortened hook, and piped "Supreme People's Court" to make it even shorter. -Zanhe (talk) 06:17, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
