论群团组织在依法治国中的作用——以群团组织的司法参与为视角

On the Role of Mass Organizations in the Rule of Law-in the Perspective of Mass Organizations' Judicial Involvement

在依法治国建设的大背景下,群团组织参与司法的现象越来越普遍、越来越深入。梳理三大诉讼法可以发现,群团组织司法参与中的角色多种多样,有陪审员、调解员,有诉讼当事人、诉讼代理人,还有辩护人、见证人、法律监督者等。实际上,群团组织参与司法有宪法、三大诉讼法这样的法律依据,也有人民主权、司法民主、正当程序、权利制约权力这样的理论基础。进一步发挥群团组织的作用,应有制度创新,在加强组织自身建设、提高组员法律素养、明确不同角色下的的权利义务以及司法参与的程序化、规范化、制度化等方面下功夫。群团组织参与司法的意义重大,它既是党在司法领域坚持群众路线的体现,也可实现人民在司法领域内当家做主,还是实现司法监督、司法民主、司法公正、司法法治的必由之路。

In the context of the rule of law construction,mass organizations' involvement in judicial practice isbecoming increasingly common. A summary of the three procedural laws find that mass organizations may act in variouscapacities such as jurors,mediators,litigants,litigation agents,defenders,witnesses,legal supervisors etc. In fact,mass organizations' judicial involvement has both the legal basis of the constitution and the three procedural laws andthe theoretical foundation of such concepts as popular sovereignty,judicial democracy,due process,and powerrestriction. In order that mass organizations fully play their due roles,institutional innovation is crucial,massorganizations' self-construction and their members' legal literacy should be improved so that they are clear about theirrights and obligations in their different roles,and judicial participation should be standardized in procedures,regulations,and systems. The mass organizations' participation is of great significance,which reflects the Party's massline in the judicial field,guarantees the decisive position of the people,and is a necessary approach to achievingjudicial supervision,judicial democracy,judicial justice,and the rule of law in the judicial field.
