关于我国建立判例制度的思考

On Establishing Precedent System in China

判例在普通法法系国家中是一个重要的法律渊源,是法律的表现形式。民法法系国家一般不承认判例的约束力,但在法律实践中判例法实际存在。受两大法系相互融合,取长补短的影响,我国案例指导出现了判例化的倾向。鉴于我国制定法的局限性,建立判例指导制度已经非常必要——判例制度有弥补制定法之局限性、发挥法官之能动作用,加强社会监督等作用。

Precedent is an important legal resource implemented in Common Law countries yet denied by Democracy Law coun tries despite the fact that judicial precedent does exist in legal practice. When it comes to precedent guiding in China, there is a tendency of precedent in that the two legal systems are carried out by making use of their advantages. Since China＇ s statute law has its limitations, the establishment of precedent guiding system is of vital importance, which is able to remove the limi tations, activate judges＇ initiatives and carry out the supervising function of laws on the part of society.
