人民陪审员制度构建的几点法理思考——写在《关于完善人民陪审员制度的决定》实施一周年之际

Legal Thinking on the Construction of People’s Juror System

第十届全国人民代表大会常务委员会第十一次会议通过的《关于完善人民陪审员制度的决定》将在我国沿用了几十年的人民陪审员制度以立法的形式加以确定,这是我国目前正在进行的司法制度改革的一个重要组成部分,符合我国社会主义民主与法制建设的基本精神。从法条的实证层面上看,《决定》仍然存在不少法律漏洞。导致这些问题的出现,既有立法技术的原因,也有我国现有法律制度不够健全等原因。如何避免人民陪审员制度中出现的法律空白和法律冲突,这不仅是摆在立法工作者面前的任务,也是广大司法工作者和学者需要思考的问题。

The Decision to Complete the People’s Juror System passed by the 11th Plenary Session of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People’s Congress established by legislation the juror system which has been in use for more than half century in China.This is an important part of the current judicial reform,which is in pace with the Chinese democracy and legality construction.However,there still exist some lacunae in the Decision.Various reasons may account for this.Some of them are tied with the legislation technology while others are due to the incompleteness of the current legal system.How to improve the juror system in China is a task not only to the legislators but to the scholars as well.
