论庭前会议程序的完善

On the Perfection of Pretial Conference Procedure

我国庭前会议的功能定位是开庭准备程序,具有程序事项裁断、程序选择、证据展示、信息沟通和争点确定等功能,但不具有预审功能。关于庭前会议的适用范围,庭前会议不适用于简易程序案件。关于庭前会议的启动方式,审判人员应当在启动庭前会议程序中起到主导作用。关于庭前会议的主持者,现阶段我国宜采用主持者和庭审法官合一的方式。庭前会议内容广泛,但重点是对证据事项的处理。

The functional orientation of pretrial conference in China is the procedure of preparing for tial, which has the function of decision of procedural matters, procedural choice, disclosure of evidence, information communication and decision of issues, but which has no function of preliminary hearing. The cases of summary procedure are not suitable for the procedure of pretrial conference. The presider of pretrial conference in the present in China should be the judge hearing the cases. The contents of pretrial conference are extensive, but the most impotant is testimony matters.
