法律模糊概念与法官自由裁量

Indeterminate Legal Concept and Judges' Discretion

现实中,基于法律概念的不确定性,成文法又永远滞后于变动不居的社会生活,由此导致法律的一般正义与个别正义脱节,甚至背离法律的价值目标。为实现社会公平正义,法律容许法官扩展自由裁量权,以回应社会变迁中的各种矛盾冲突。但目前我国法官的职业水准、技术理性与裁量合理性要求还有较大的差距,这就是裁量不自由的一面;而另一面,我国法官与西方国家法官相比又享有超度的自由裁量权。因此,法官裁量要获得法律之内的真正自由,法官应具有独立、超然、理性的职业化本色,这也是司法改革所追求的“境界”。

In the true life, legal concept is indeterminate and the statute law always lags behind the changing social life, which makes normal justice and special justice of the law do not match, or even the purpose of law be deviated. In order to achieve the social justice, the law authorizes the judges to expand their discretion to solve complicated factual cases and response all kinds of conflicts in changing society. However, in China the professional level and technical rationality of the judges can not meet the requirements of the rational discretion that the power ought to be restrained, while the judges possess overfull discretion in comparison with the occidental judges. Therefore, the freedom of judges＇ discretion within the law must be based on the professional na- ture of the judges of independence, detachment and rationality, and it is also the destination of judicial reform.
