司法公正的民意之维

The Dimension of the Public Opinion in Judicial Justice

司法公正是司法主观性和司法客观性相一致的状态。司法民意作为实现司法公正的客观性维度被提出来,成为司法制度确保自身合法性的重要依据。司法民意在司法过程中的存在有其必要性、正当性和可行性,其影响司法亦有限度。协商民主理论在司法系统中的具体运用和司法协商机制的构建为获取真实而理性的司法民意提供了切实可行的方法和程序安排。在司法系统中设计一个由司法公开制度、司法协商制度和民意保障制度等具体制度构成的司法民意形成机制,以实现对司法民意的合理收集和有效整合,最终达成共识性民意,指引法官做出公正裁决。
