落实院庭长办案制度

Implementation of the System Requiring Court Presidents and Chief Judges to Conduct Trials

经过一定时期的发展,当前院庭长办案已呈普遍化和常态化态势,对司法改革和司法运行产生了重要的积极影响。但仍存在挂名办案、选择办案、作秀办案等形式化倾向,其直接原因是实施规则不完善,监督机制不健全。根本原因是司法与社会的行政化。当前须克服困难、创制条件,推进改革。为此可以斟酌改革举措,同时需正确理解"办案"内涵。落实此项制度,需优化保障条件,完善基本规范,提高思想认识,多管齐下采取改革配套措施。应重点完善院庭长办案的分案制度,调整分案原则,强化案件类型甄别机制。同时应加强监督约束、提升制度刚性。还应调整管理制度,优化外部环境。

After a certain period of development, the system requiring court presidents and chief judges to conduct trials is now the normal situation, which has exerted an important positive influence on judicial reform and judicial operation. But there is still the problem of formalization in the implementation of this system, such as nominal presiding judges in trials, selection of cases, trial shows, etc. The causes of such problems lie in the defects of rules concerning the implementation of this system and the lack of proper supervisory mechanism. And the most important cause is the administrative tendency in our judicial organs and even the whole society. We must resolve such problems and promote the reform. Proper measures should be taken and ＂case handling＂ must be better understood. To properly implement this system, we need to improve supporting measures and basic rules, and deepen our understanding. The division of cases and the supervisory mechanism should be further improved. Meanwhile, the management system should be reformed so as to optimize the exterior environment.
