司法衡平艺术与司法能动主义

Judicial Art of Equity and Judicial Activism

司法的最直接目的在于定纷止争。法官既不能迷信规则,也不应轻视规则。司法能动主义是一种开放性司法哲学,热衷于打破成规、法外能动和制衡。司法能动主义之所以盛行于美国,有其特定政治法律文化背景。我国情形则大为不同,司法能动主义须慎行。我们应该发展合乎国情的中式司法衡平艺术,倡导能动司法。

The immediate aim of judicature is at the settlement of dispute. The judges should not make a fetish of rules or despair of them. Judicial Activism is an exoteric judicial philosophy, which is wild about breakings rut and acting without the law and conditionality. Judicial Activism prevails in the USA due to the country＇ s special background of polities, law and culture, which are quite different in China. Thus Judicial Activism should be practiced very carefully. We should develop the China - style judicial art of equity that conforms to the local situation of the country, initiating active judicature.
