刑事简易程序审判组织模式改革刍议

Preliminary Discussion on the Reform of Trial Group Mode in Criminal Summary Procedure

确保司法公正 ,提高司法效率 ,是刑事简易程序审判组织模式改革的终极目标。刑事简易程序独任审判庭的“一审多助多书”组织运行模式 ,是北京市海淀区人民法院的改革尝试。这一审判组织由 1名独任法官 ,4名法官助理和 2名书记员组成。实践证明 ,这种对原有审判组织模式的改革是成功的 :一是提高了审判效率和质量 ;二是排除了独任审判先入为主的弊端 ;三是突出了独任法官的主导地位 ;四是明确了法官助理和书记员的职责 ;五是降低了诉讼成本。

To ensure judicial justice and improve judicial efficiency is the final aim of the reform of trial group mode in criminal summary procedure. In the reform, Haidian District People's Court has taken the mode of “one judge, more assistants and more engrossment clerks” in the criminal summary procedure. This trial group is composed of one judge, four judge assistants and two clerks. In practice it is proved that the reform is successful. It improves the efficiency and quality of trials, excludes the defects of the sole judge's having a prior judgment, gives prominence to the leading position of the sole judge, defines the judge assistants' and clerks' responsibilities and reduces litigation costs.
