The Dalisi or Dali Si, variously translated as the Court of Judicature and Revision, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Office of Justice, was the supreme court for criminal cases under most of the dynasties of imperial China. It was also referred to as Jisi or Ji Si because interrogations of criminals sometimes took place under thorn trees. Ancient Vietnam followed ancient China's precedent and also established a similar institution.
