司法能动的边界

On the Border of Judicial Activism

当传统三段论式的裁判方法走向极端演变成为机械司法时,其对法治的破坏是显而易见的,因而能动司法必然步入人们的视野,而以实质法治论为导向的能动司法却又可能瓦解法治的基本宗旨。因此,司法能动应该有一个边界:能动性的裁判方法固然重要,但传统的逻辑涵摄为特点的三段论式裁判方法应是法官判案时的首选;同时,鉴于法律原则体现了现代法治社会公认的基本价值,应该以其作为司法能动的边界。

When the judicial method of traditional -syllogism goes to the judicial negativism, its destruction to the law is obvious. Thus the judicial activism will inevitably be used, but the judicial activism which is directed by the essential legal system could collapse the basic purposes of the law. Therefore, the judicial activism should have a border： the judicial method of traditional - syllogism should be the first choice. At the same time, because legal principles embodied the basic values in the modem society, they should be used as the border of the judicial activism.
