对法定证据制度的再认识与证据采信标准的规范化

A Reconsideration on the Statutory Evidence and the Codification of Admissibility Test

大陆法系国家在16世纪实行的法定证据制度具有一定的科学性与合理性。与自由证明模式相比,法定证明模式有助于提高司法的公正性、可预见性和权威性。中国证据制度改革的方向应该是走向法定证明,而实现证据采信标准的规范化则是当前的首要任务之一。

The system of regulated proof practiced in European continental countries in the 16th century had certain scientific and rational basis. Comparing with the free proof, the regulated proof has the advantage in promoting the justice, the predictability, and the authoritativeness for the judicial system. The direction of the reform of Chinese evidence system should be going towards the regulated proof, while the primary task at present should be the regulation of evaluation standards of evidence reliability in trials.
