信息化浪潮中的司法改革:机遇与挑战

Judicial Reform in the Wave of Information Technology: Chances and Challenges

十八大以来的司法改革的一个重要特征,是以顶层设计的方式切入一些微观层面的具体问题,同时,各地借助信息化建设,在司法管理、司法辅助、司法行政以及部分审判、检察工作中进行改革尝试,取得诸多积极成效,如司法决策得以优化、司法公信力得以提升,这使得本轮司法改革在目标、理念落地方面获得更大的可能。信息化建设与"顶层设计"的双重驱动为本轮司法改革带来了不同于过往的机遇与挑战。信息技术和大数据的发展还为法学研究提供了宝贵契机。法学界应当抓住机会,为下一轮的司法改革贡献更多高质量的研究成果。

Judicial reforms since the 18th National Congress of the CPC are characterized by the following two achievements： some concrete issues, though on a micro scale, have been tackled via top-level designs; at the same time, IT application has been so widespread across the country that it has promoted the reforms in such areas as judicial supervision, aid, administration, trial as well as procuratorial work. Accordingly, many positive results have been achieved： e.g. the judicial decision making has been optimized; and the public credibility of the judicial organs has been improved. These achievements make it more possible to fully fulfill the purpose and vision of this round of judicial reform. IT application and top-level design, working as double engines, have brought about both unprecedented opportunities and challenges for this round of judicial reform. The developments in information and big data technologies have also provided legal studies with great chances. Legal scholars should take this opportunity to produce more and better research results to lay a solid foundation for the next round of judicial reform.
