调审角色分离——关于构建调解制度的第三条进路

The separation of judge's mediational and inquisitory role——the third approach to the reconstruction of mediation system

调解不具有审判职能,是法官介入的但无需对案件进行审查判断的活动。法官的作用在于中介沟通并最终赋予其强制执行的效力。现行的调解制度未充分考虑当事人的地位和意愿,且法官具有调解者和审判者双重身份,从而导致法官具备"玩调解于股掌"的机会和条件。因此,调解制度重构的关键就在于限制法官角色转换,提高当事人的自主性。

Mediation does not have judicial functions.It＇s a procedure which needs intervene of judges but not their judgements.The role of judges is an intermediary to communicate and eventually given to the effectiveness of its enforcement.Existing mediation system,not fully taken into account the status and the wishes of the litigants and the dual identity of judges who have both mediational and trial role,results that the judges have the opportunities to ＂play the mediation in hands＂.Therefore,the most important point of the mediation system＇s reconstruction is to limit the judges＇ dual identity and enhance the autonomy of the litigants.
