论证据裁判主义与自由心证的衡平

On the Balance between the Principles of Evidentiary Adjudication and Free Proof

我国司法实践中存在的证据运用的形式与实质的矛盾凸显了对证据裁判主义和自由心证进行衡平的必要。以证据裁判和自由心证同时作为认定案件事实必备条件的现代证明模式的确立是实现衡平的基础。衡平的基本路径除了对自由心证制度的准确定义外,需要重点关注证据规则体系和具体规则设计的现代化,以及达成证据规则"软化"或"硬化"的程序控制方法。

The contradiction between form and substance about the use of evidence in practice in Chinahighlights the necessity to balance the principles of evidentiary adjudication and free proof. The foundationto balance these principles is to establish modem judicial proof mode that determines the fact under theguidance of both evidentiary adjudication and free proof. Apart from the accurate definition of free proof,the ways to achieve the balance are to focus on the framework of evidence rules, modernize the specific rulesfor each kind of evidence and soften or harden the evidence rules through the procedural control.
