陪审制度存废问题研究

Studies of the Existence or Elimination of Jury System

陪审制度是我国一项重要的司法制度,由于立法和司法的原因,陪审制度在实际运作中存在诸多困难和问题。理论界和实务界主存主废争论不休,概而言之,完善论、废除论、陪审团移植论都不同程度地存在认识上的误区,因而并不可取。对我国的陪审制度,必须重新审视其设计理念和价值功能,以此为基点,立足于陪审制度的司法民主和公正价值,从现实可行性出发,对陪审制度进行重新设计。

The jury system is an important judicial system of China, but it has some problems in practice due to the legislation and judicature of the system. In the theoretical and practical circles there are continuous arguments, which can be summarized as the idea that the theory of improvement, the theory of elimination and the theory of jury transplantation are all not acceptable. We should renew our understanding of its theoretical principles, values and functions, and then based on this as well as the judicial democracy and justice can we design a new jury system.
