论法律原则在民事疑难案件裁判中的教义学功能

On the Doctrinal Function of Legal Principles in the Adjudication of Difficult Civil Cases

民事疑难案件的裁判是现代法学方法论的重要议题。法官在依法裁判民事疑难案件的同时参考非正式法律渊源是必要的,但法官是否应当在裁判时将非正式法律渊源纳入说理依然存在较大的争议。而法律原则提供了新的思路:从教义学角度出发,法律原则能够作为纽带对非正式法律渊源进行转化,为法官参考非正式法律渊源提供正当性基础,这有利于解决民事案件中事实、道德与法律因素之疑难,为推动社会主义法治建设,促进社会主义现代化建设添砖加瓦。

The adjudication of difficult civil cases is an important issue in the methodology of modern jurisprudence.It is necessary for judges to make reference to informal sources of law when adjudicating difficult civil cases according to law.But whether the judge should include the informal legal sources in the reasoning still has a big controversy.And the principle of law provides a new way of thinking:the principle of law can be used as a link to transform the informal sources of law and provide a legitimate basis for judges to refer to the informal sources of law from the doctrinal angle.It is helpful to solve the problems of fact,morality and law in civil cases,and thus contributes to the construction of socialist rule of law and socialist modernization.
