论被告人的法庭交流权

On the Defendant’s Right of Court Communication

被告人的法庭交流权指在法庭开庭审理阶段被告人与其辩护人相互交流的权利。实践中,被告人法庭交流权的缺失影响有效辩护的实现,亦不利于庭审效果。赋予被告人法庭交流权可以促进有效辩护、消减法庭冲突、实现主观程序正义。因此,当被告人出现行为偏差或者意见分歧等情形时,应当许可被告人与辩护人通过及时交流或者休庭交流的方式进行沟通。同时,法庭交流权不得滥用,应当尊重法官诉讼指挥权、注重沟通效率、遵循特定伦理规范。为保障法庭交流权落到实处,可通过合理布局被告人法庭席位、完善休庭规则、畅通法院临时羁押室的会见渠道、建立侵犯法庭交流权的救济机制四个方面来实现。

The defendant’s right to communicate in court refers to the right of communication between the defendant and his/her defender during the cour ttrial.In practice,the lack of the defendant’s right to communicate in court affects the realization of effective defense and fails to ensure the effectiveness of court trials.Granting the defendant the right to communicate in court can promote effective defense,reduce court conflicts,and ensure subjectively procedural justice.Therefore,when the defendant has behavior deviation and disagreement,the defendant should be allowed to communicate with the defender through timely communication or adjournment communication.At the same time,the court’s right to communicate should not be abused,and should respect the judge’s litigation command,pay attention to communication efficiency,and implement specifically ethical norms.In order to ensure the implementation of the court’s right to communicate,four options can be taken,namely rationally distributing the defendant’s seats,improving court adjournment rules,unblocking the meeting channels in the court’s temporary detention room,and establishing a relief mechanism for infringing the court’s right to communicate.
