Shen Junru (; January 2, 1875 – June 11, 1963) was a Chinese lawyer and politician who was the president of the Supreme People's Court of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China. He was also the chairman of the China Democratic League.
Shen was born in Suzhou, with family ancestry in Jiaxing City. He received the Jinshi or "presented scholar" degree, the highest under the imperial examination system. Shen completed a preparation course (Chinese: 速成科) at Hosei University, in Tokyo, Japan in 1905.
Shen Junru and other six intellectuals in Shanghai were arrested in 1936 by Chiang Kai-shek's government, which is known as the Seven Gentlemen Incident. This incident caused a national crisis and the seven individuals were released only after Japan launched an invasion in the summer of 1937.[1]
Shen attended the first Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in 1949 and was appointed to be the first President of the Supreme People's Court from 1949 to 1954. Shen had also served as a member of the committee of the Central People's Government, and was vice-chairman of the CPPCC National Committee from 1949 to 1963.
Additionally, Shen was vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress from 1954 to 1963, and chairman of the China Democratic League from 1956 to 1963. He was also vice-chairman of the Chinese Political and Law Studies Association (Chinese: 中国政治法律学会).
Shen died during his sleep in early morning on June 11, 1963 from a long illness at the age of 88 years old.
