刑事庭前会议制度的探析

A Probe on Pretrial Conference System in Criminal Procedure

庭前会议是新刑事诉讼法中新增的一大亮点,它不仅从程序上改变了原始的"一步到庭"的诉讼模式,而且从实质上完善了公正和效率两大诉讼价值。司法解释以法条为基础对庭前会议的召开、参加人员、适用范围等事项作出了较为细化的规定,但是其仍然存在很多美中不足之处。本文重点从庭前会议制度的实质功能、内容及存在的问题等几个方面进行分析,提出进一步完善庭前会议制度的对策和建议,便于更好地发挥庭前会议制度在实践中的作用。

In the new criminal procedure law, the pretrial conference is a major highlight, with its change of the traditional litigation procedure model of ＂going directly to court＂ and its essential punishment of the combina- tion of fairness and efficiency. Based on the law articles, the judicial interpretation regulates court meeting in its or- ganization, participants and applicable range, but there still exists a fly in the ointment. This paper approaches the pretrial meeting system from its essential function, content and current problems, and puts forward some suggestion and countermeasures to perfect pretrial conference system and enable this system to function better in practice.
