民间法进入司法的可能性基础

On the Possibility of Folk Law's Influence on Justice

随着法治工程的演进,民间法作为法治运转重要的平台性因素,已经得到越来越多的重视与研究。其中,民间法与官方法的互动、尤其是民间法进入法实施领域的问题更是得到了诸多学者的关注。然而,就既有研究而言,这种关注似乎主要集中于民间法与官方法的互动模式或民间法进入法实施领域之渠道等方面,却鲜有对相关问题之可能性基础的分析与证立。这从逻辑上决定了既有研究的根本不足。从司法立场的法律渊源理论、语言学理论以及解释学理论的角度,可以很好地分析、证立民间法进入法实施领域的基础。

As an important platform for the construction of rule of law, folk law has attracted more and more attention in academic studies. The interaction of folk law and state law, particularly the influence of folk law on state law, has drawn attention from many scholars. However, existing studies have focused mainly on the patterns of the interaction or the mechanisms of the influence. Little efforts have been made on studying the possibility and the basis of the influence, which points to the limitations of extant studies. Arguments for folk law＇s influence on justice could be made in light of the theory of legal sources, linguistics and hermeneutics.
