论我国庭前会议制度的完善和发展

Research on the Development and Improvement of China's Pretrial Conference System

庭前会议制度起源于英美法系国家,并由诸多国家所吸收,我国2012年《刑事诉讼法》正式确立了庭前会议制度。虽然庭前会议的设立有利于促进我国刑事司法制度的完善,但是由于我国设置该项制度时间较晚,在立法和实践中,庭前会议制度暴露了诸多问题,例如庭前会议制度程序设置不规范、内容涉及实体问题等等。为完善庭前会议制度,应当围绕被告人参与权、庭前会议的启动方式,庭前会议的召集主持等问题,提出完善庭前会议制度的有效办法,例如赋予被告人参与权、明确庭前会议启动方式、将庭前会议的法官与庭审法官分离等等。

The system of pretrial conference originated from Anglo American law and has been absorbed by many countries. In2012, the Chinese Criminal Procedure Law formally brought in pretrial conference system. The aim of pretrial meetings is to improveChina＇s criminal justice system, however, due to the fact that it has been only a very short time since it is built up, many problems arise, such as non-standardization and confusion with substantive issues, etc. In order to improve the system of pretrial meetings, weshould around the rights of participation of the accused, ways to launch a pretrial meeting, the convening of pretrial meetings, etc. Wewill put forward some effective suggestions, such as giving defendant the right of participation, clarifying the ways to start up a pretrialmeeting, separating judges of the pretrial meetings from the trial judges, and so on.
