当代中国司法:自治与他律之间

Justice in Contemporary China:Between Autonomy and Heteronomy

司法自治论和司法他律论虽然相互对立、争论,但都是有关司法管理的激进之论。司法自治—他律平衡论既能解释、顺应当代中国司法的实然状态,同时又能稳健地引导司法回归其应然属性。在司法自治—他律平衡论看来,司法的自治与他律都应当是有限的,互为前提的。在设计司法管理制度时,应当处理好司法自治与党的领导、政府支持、人大监督三种制度之间的关系,处理好司法公正与司法民主、司法中立与司法为民、司法廉洁与司法效率三对价值之间的关系,拓展司法信息公开的广度和深度,提高司法人员的政治、道德和业务素质,加强司法职业伦理、法治和专业信仰。

Although the Judicial Autonomy Theory and the Judicial Heteronomy Theory are opposite and controversial,they are both radical theories about judicial management. Judicial Autonomy-heteronomy Balance Theory can not only explain and conform to the actual state of contemporary Chinese justice,but also steadily guide the justice to return to its nature. In the view of the theory,judicial autonomy and heteronomy should be limited and interdependent. In judicial management system design,it shall handle the relationship between the judicial autonomy and the three systems,which are the leadership of the Party,government support,and supervision of National People’s Congress. It is also necessary to handle the relationship between the three pairs of values,which are the judicial justice and judicial democracy,judicial neutrality and justice for the people,judicial incorruptibility and judicial efficiency,to expand the breadth and depth of judicial information disclosure,improve the judicial personnel’s political,moral and professional qualities,and strengthen judicial professional ethics,the rule of law and professional beliefs.
