浅论我国刑事证据开示制度的建构

On the Construction of Criminal Evidence Discovery System in China

证据开示是刑事诉讼当事人主义模式下的一项十分重要的制度,它是源自于英美法系的一个重要概念。证据开示制度在不采用案卷移送制度的、实行控辩双方向法庭举证的诉讼结构中都具有重要的意义。我国1996年修改的刑事诉讼法基本确立了控辩双方对抗式的审判模式,这种刑事庭审方式由以法官主导的审问制向控辩双方主导的对抗制的转变,导致证据开示制度的建立已势在必行。应借鉴域外先进经验并结合我国刑事诉讼实际,构建有我国特色的证据开示制度。

Evidence discovery system, one of the key measures to ensure the right of the litigant, is introduced from Anglo- American legal system. Evidence discovery is particularly significant in the litigation structure where the records are not transferred but displayed by the prosecuting and defending parties. The 1996 Law of Criminal Procedure in China establishes the trial mode based on the argument between the prosecuting and defending parties. In such mode, evidence discovery has become a must. We shall construct the evidence discovery system w/th Chinese characteristics by referring to foreign practices.
