A recent story about a retired judge from Henan Province, who admitted to wearing a diaper during lengthy trials to improve judicial efficiency in the courtroom, has been widely circulated online.



The judge said that he wore the diaper to help things in his court run more smoothly, not wanting to interrupt the continuity of trials, or harm the dignity of the courtroom by pausing for bathroom breaks, reported Zhengzhou-based newspaper Zhengzhou Evening News.



Web users debated over the need for taking the added step of wearing a diaper to court, given that most judges draw the line at controlling their diet before a trial expected to last a long time, by refusing to drink before entering, or while sitting in the courtroom.



Some people accused the judge of publicizing his diaper tactics to gain attention, while others looked up to the judge, respecting the strong dedication to his work.
