论我国民众参与裁判制度之模式选择

Choice of Models in China's Public Participation in Adjudication

陪审团制与参审制是民众参与裁判制度的两种基本模式,我国的人民陪审员制度本质上属于参审制。陪审团制与参审制在实践司法民主价值理念方面难分优劣,但陪审团制容易造成诉讼效率的低下,而且参审制较之陪审团制在诉讼制度的配套、事实与法律区分的难易程度方面也更契合我国国情,故我国人民陪审员制度的改革完善应坚持参审制的方向。

The jury system and the mixed system are the two basic models for public participation in adjudication. China＇s people assessor systembelongs to the mixed system in respect of its nature. It is difficult to judge which system is superior in terms of practicing the values of adjudicative democracy, but the iury system can easily lead to low efficiency. Furthermore, the mixed court system is more adapted to the situation of our country considering the matching litigation system and the difficulty in differentiating laws and facts. The people assessor system of our country should therefore be reformed in the direction of the mixed court system.
