司法文牍主义与开庭日——关于刑事办案模式的实验性研究

The Judicial Red-tapism and Court Day: Experimental Research on the Criminal Case Handling Model

长期以来,中国的刑事办案模式都集中于文牍审阅的传统模式,造成法庭功能趋向的虚化。刑事诉讼制度改革的不断推进,则从理论上夯实了"开庭日"的主导性地位。然而,作为司法实践的具体操作者,裁判主体似乎还是倾向于通过案卷的审慎分析得出结论。这究竟是一种亟待改造的失范对象,抑或本土法治资源的规律性投射,尚需要进一步梳理和厘清。针对此命题,不妨通过模拟实验的方法论手段加以解构,以阐释"司法文牍主义"与"开庭日"之间貌似互不相容的二元关系,从而使之共同服务于程序有效性目标。

For a long time,the criminal case handling model in China had focused on the reading of official documents,resulting in the weakening of the function of court trial.The continuous advancement of criminal procedure reform has in theory strengthened the dominant position of“court day”.However,the judge,as concrete operator of judicial practice,still tends to draw the conclusion on a case through careful analysis of case file.Further analysis still needs to be carried out to determine whether this is a norm-hosing phenomenon that needs to be modified,or a regular projection of traditional sources of rule of law.We may explore and deconstruct this issue by applying the methodology of simulated experiment,so as to explain the seemingly contradictory relationship between“red-tapism”and“court day”and enable both of them to serve the goal of procedural validity
