论法律原则在司法审判中的适用——兼从法律推理的逻辑形式角度

On The Application of Legal Principles In Judicial Process ——On The Logical Form of Legal Reasoning

在司法审判过程中 ,明文规定在法律文本中的法律原则在个案审判中具有可诉性。第一 ,法律文本中的法律原则规定对整个法律体系具有的统帅作用也应该体现在个案审判时对具体规则适用的检验上。第二 ,法律原则能更好体现法律的精神从而弥补具体条款的不足。第三 ,明文规定在法律文本中的法律原则不是法律文本中多余的内容 ,仅规定在条文上而不适用在案件中无异于使法律原则的规定成为虚设。第四 ,在个案中 ,法律原则具体化为特定的法律规范后 ,具有明确的内容 。

The author insists that the legal principles which are part of the law should be applied in the judgment of the case. Firstly, the superiority of the legal principles to legal rules can be only when they are applied in the judgment of the case. Secondly, legal principles embody the spirit of the law. So when applied in the judgment, the legal principles can solve the limitation of certain rules. Thirdly, the legal principles which are listed in the law are not redundant, so they should be applied in judicial decision inevitably. Fourthly, the content of the legal principles are also clear which can be applied in the judgment directly. After the discussion aforesaid, the author also justifies the application of legal principles from the aspect of the logical form of legal reasoning which has not been dealt with before.
