法官任职现状及其制度设计思考——以“法官员额制”改革为论述背景

Judges Service Actuality and Reflections on the System Design

司法改革的终极目标就是"让人民群众在每一个司法案件中都感受到公平正义",故谁执掌司法权至关重要。目前,滥用《法官法》第十二条第二款任命法官的现象仍较为严重,且法官以行政级别为中心,法官的行政职务越高,离法官的本职工作就越远;虽然法官人数庞大,但从事审判者不到半数。因缺乏淘汰和监督机制为后盾,鱼龙混杂现象依然较为突出。按照"让审理者裁判、由裁判者负责"的原则,选任法官应当统一标准,并兼顾中国不同地区的差异性和少数民族地区。

as an important constituent of state power, judicial powers have an irreplaceable role to play in promoting social equity and justice. The judiciary suffers a lack of credibility largely due to its current system of judges, which needs to be improved. In the past, there is no any threshold to be a judge. In line with the goal of ensuring that fairness and justice can be felt in every single case, people’s courts need to adhere to the reform. Under the principles of enabling the judges to make verdicts and bear related responsibilities, people’s courts must improve the team building of the judges, promote systematic management of judicial staff and improve the mechanism of recruiting and selecting judges.
