论经验法则的司法定位

On Judicial Positioning of Experience Law

事实问题与法律问题二分法的定位框架,难以呈现经验法则的复杂性与包容性。经验法则兼具经验性与法则性,既解释事实的因果关系也评价行为。经验法则的司法功能涉及事实认定与法律适用,对司法三段论大小前提的形成具有重要作用。准确定位经验法则既能解释经验法则的法律审何以陷入僵局,也能为制度完善提供参考。裁判理论必须抛弃经验法则属于事实问题的刻板印象,并将经验法则的适用方法纳入进来。

The dual positioning frame of fact issue and legal issue can not fully show the complicatedness and leniency of law. Experience law possesses experience and law feature, explains cause and effect relation of fact and comments on the action. The judicial function of experience law involves cognition of fact and application of law, which is very important in the formation of the major and minor premise of three part argument of law. Accurate positioning experience law can explain why some experience law is trapped in a dilemma and pro- vide symmetrically a reference. Judging theory should get rid of the rigid image of factual issue of experience law and adopt applicable method into itself.
