Dalisi (大理寺; variously interpreted as the Court of Judicature and Revision, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Office of Justice) was the central government's judicial body in ancient China responsible for handling criminal cases. It was also referred to as Jisi (棘寺) because interrogations of criminals sometimes took place under thorn trees. Ancient Vietnam followed ancient China's precedent and also established a similar institution.
