对建立刑事诉讼专家辅助人制度的思考——以全国首例专家辅助人参与刑事案件为视角

Thinking about Establishing Criminal Procedure Expert Assistant System——From the perspective of first expert-assisted people involved in criminal cases

新《刑事诉讼法》中明确了专家辅助人制度的雏形,但是条文的规定简单概括。有关专家辅助人的资格、介入诉讼的方式、权利和义务、启动方式和其意见的可采性等相关问题都没有详细的规定,使其在司法实践运作环节出现许多障碍。构建专家辅助人制度前应准确理解其概念,明确专家辅助人的法律地位,充分认识构建专家辅助人制度的必要性,并建立配套的专家辅助人援助制度。

Although the prototype of assistant specialist institution is clearly defined in the new Criminal Law, the wording part is simple and general. Relevant facets are not specified, such as the qualification of assistant specialist, the method,right and duty of litigation intervention, the initiation, and the possible adoption. This brings about many obstacles to the practice of legislation. Before constructing assistant specialist institution, we should fully understand its definition, make clear the legal status of assistant specialist, recognize the necessity of constructing assistant specialist institution, and set up a backing system to match the assistant specialist.
