律师伪证刑事责任问题研究

Studies on the Issue of Criminal Liability for the Perjury Committed by Lawyers

就法律层面分析,法律对"律师伪证罪"客观方面描述不清是辩护律师被滥诉的重要原因。但更为关键的是,现行法律体系没有设置合理的程序防止此罪名被曲解、滥用。因此,法律除了要对罪状做精准描述之外,还要构建一个公正的程序防止相关罪名成为职业报复的工具。就此而言,《刑法》不应单列"律师伪证罪",《刑事诉讼法》也没有必要单列条文强调辩护人不得伪证的义务。《刑事诉讼法修正案(草案)》虽然对相关条文作了修改,但仍需完善。

From a legal perspective,ambiguous legal description on objective aspects of the ＇Perjury Committed by Lawyers＇ is the main reason leading the fact that defense lawyers are abusively accused.Nevertheless,the more important reason is that the existing legal system has not set up such reasonable procedure to prevent the crime from being misunderstood and abused.Therefore,besides precisely description on facts about the crime,just procedure should be constructed to prevent relevant crimes from being a tool for occupation revenge.In this regard,the Criminal Law should not individually list the ＇Perjury Committed by Lawyers＇,and the Criminal Procedure Law does not necessarily make a provision emphasizing the obligation of a defender not to perjure.Although the Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law （Draft） have revised some relevant provisions,further improvement is still needed.
