论司法政策的规范内涵、适用范围和实际功效——以最高人民法院制定的司法政策为例

On the Normative Meaning,the Range of the Application and the Actual Efficacy of Judicial Policy:Exemplified by the Judicial Policies Formulated by the Supreme People’s Court

司法政策源于我国宪法法律构成的规范性体系,是司法体制运行中政治与法律相互作用的结果。司法机关通过制定司法政策措施来服务党和国家工作大局、规范法律适用和司法行为、调整司法系统内部结构关系等。随着司法政策功能的拓展,人民法院正在从“克制司法”走向“能动司法”,从关注“校正正义”走向关注“分配正义”,从“司法权地方化”走向“司法权国家化”。基于这一司法政策功能的认知,有必要在司法改革中突出司法政策的制度设计,完善司法政策决策程序,更好地履行司法为民、公正司法的职责使命。

Judicial policy originates from the normative system that consists of the constitution and laws in China and is the result of the interaction between politics and law in the operation of judicial system.Judicial organs formulate judicial policies and measures to serve the overall work of the Party and country,regulate the application of laws and judicial behaviors,and adjust the internal structures and relationships of the judicial system.With the expansion of the function of judicial policy,people’s courts are changing from“judicial restraint”to“judicial activism”,from“corrective justice”to“distributive justice”,and from“the localization of jurisdict ion”to“the nationalization of jurisdiction”.On the basis of the cognition of the function of judicial policy,it is necessary to highlight the institutional design of judicial policy in judicial reform and improve the decision making process of judicial policy,so as to better fulfill the duty and mission of justice for the people and judicial justice.
