中国古代直诉制度对涉法涉诉信访改革的启示

The Enlightenment of the Direct Appeal in Ancient China to the Reform of the Petition Visits Involving Law

涉法涉诉信访与中国古代的直诉制度极其相似。从古今政府对特殊诉讼制度的管控和利用、普通民众对这些制度的信赖与滥用、制度本身反映出的程序与实体之纠缠、传统法文化影响下法的功能认识偏差四个方面出发,都能从古代直诉制度中找到其对涉法涉诉信访改革的现代性启示。

The direct appeal in ancient China is very similar to the petition visits involving law. From the following four aspects： the control and utilization of the special litigation system by the ancient and modern government, the trust and abuse of the common people to the system, the entanglement of the program and the entity in the system, and the cognitive deviation of legal function under the influence of traditional legal culture, we can find the enlightenment of modernity from the direct appeal in ancient China which would help reform of the petition visits involving law.
