What is judicial public opinion How is it formed If judicial public opinion is put in the analysis framework of syllogism, the major premise (judgment basis), minor premise (case facts) and reasoning in the forming process of judicial public opinion can be simply explained, from which the nature of judicial public opinion is demonstrated.
