人民陪审员制度“第三方意识”觉醒与构建——基于《人民陪审员法》的思考

The Awakening and Construction of the "Third Party Consciousness" for the People’s Jury System—— Based on The People’s Jury Law

长期以来,人民陪审员过于“形式化”,出现了“挂名法官”“驻庭法官”等问题,人民陪审员并未发挥实质性作用.究其原因,主要在于我国缺乏相应的文化土壤和完备的独立运行机制,进而导致人民陪审制度“第三方意识”不强.随着《人民陪审员法》的颁布,立法开始注重人民陪审员的实质参审,由此可以窥见人民陪审员制度“第三方意识”的觉醒.随之而来的《人民陪审员选任办法》不仅仅细化了人民陪审员选任的程序,更体现了选任方式的科学性.相比起之前的“法院主导”选任,修法后的“司法行政机关主导”的选任初步显示了“第三方意识”的觉醒,解决了"选用一手抓"的弊端,但是还应当继续完善"第三方意识"的构建,培育良好的陪审制度文化土壤,从"内部第三方"逐步过渡到“外部第三方”,实现人民群众实质参审的目的.

For a long time,the people’s assessor have been too formalized,and there have been many problems such as named judges and resident judges.The people’s assessors have not played a substantial role.The reason is mainly that China lacks the corresponding cultural soil and complete independent operation mechanism,which leads to the "thirdparty awareness" of the people’s jury system is not strong.With the promulgation of The People’s Juror Law,the legislation began to pay attention to the substantive examination of the people’s assessor,which can promote the awakening of the "third-party consciousness" of the people’s jury system.The ensuing " People’s Jury Selection Method" does not only refine the procedures for the selection of people’s assessor,but also reflects the scientific nature of the selection method.Compared with the previous "court-led" election,the "judicial administrative agency-led" selection after the revision of the law initially showed the awakening of "third-party awareness",essentially solving the shortcomings of "choose one-handedness",but needing continuing improvement.The construction of third-party awareness,is fostering agood jury system culture soil,and gradually transforming from "internal third parties"to"external third parties"as to achieve the substantive participation of the people.
