公民参审:我国人民陪审员制度探讨

A Review on Chinese-Style Assessor System

从制度层面考察,当前我国人民陪审员制度在制度的性质、目的、陪审员权的性质、陪审员制度的模式以及司法制度与民主制度之间的关系问题上存在杂糅。应把我国人民陪审员制度重新确立为一项宪法制度,该制度的目的是监督、限制、分割司法权而非行使司法权,陪审员权为公民权而非司法权。该制度在模式上应仿照英美法系的陪审团制度而非大陆法系的国家参审制度。

From the perspective of institutional level,nature,purpose,nature of the right of assessor system,the assessor system model and the relationship between democracy and the judicial system in current Chinese assessor system are overlapping.The concept of ＂People＇s justice＂ is a synonym to improvement of the assessors system,and the system should be re-established as a constitutional system.The system should aim to monitor,limite and split the judicial power rather than exercise it.The right to assessors is the fundamental rights of citizens rather than the judicial power,and the system model should imitate jury system of the common law rather than the civil law.
