论证人证言的诉讼形成

On Testifying in Court

证人证言制度的设计目的在于通过证人提供的证言最大限度地揭示过去发生的事实真相,从而明晰当事人的权利义务,使法官能公正裁判。但中国无论立法规定或司法操作均将关注的中心集中在证人作证后对其证言内容的判断上,忽视了证人作证形式对实现证人证言制度目的的重要意义。文章用认识论与心理学相关理论阐释证人作证形式对法官正确心证形成的重要性,并试图提出相关的制度构建。

The aim of the testimony system is to discover the fact that happened previous. And the realization of the aim can also make clear who tell the truth between the litigants, and this can also help the judge make a correct judgment. But what we concern in legislation and judicatory practice are the substance of the testimony. The form of the testimony is ignored. This is very pity. In this article, the author want to set forth the importance of the testimony form, using the theory of epistemology and psychology, and give some advices on how to design the relative systems.
