人民陪审:全过程人民民主的司法路径——基于司法大数据的实证考察

People's Assessors System:The Judicial Path of Whole-Process People's Democracy——An Empirical Study Based on Judicial Big Data

人民陪审员制度作为人民司法、司法民主的重要制度表达形式,是新时代实现人民民主权利的司法路径。本文从“全过程人民民主”的理论视角出发,以人民陪审员制度作为研究对象,基于司法大数据实证追踪公民参与司法的程度、组织、范围和效能。研究发现,人民陪审能够为“全过程人民民主”提供宽广的施行空间;人民陪审所包含的“全过程人民民主”能够深刻影响司法决策;人民陪审所生发的“全过程人民民主”活力有待进一步释放。“全过程人民民主”之于人民司法,不仅拟合着“让人民群众在每一个司法案件中感受到公平正义”的本质要求,也预示着一种全新的司法治理技术的诞生。

As an important institutional expression of people's justice and judicial democracy,the people's assessors system is the judicial path to realize people's democratic rights in the new era.Starting from the theoretical perspective of"whole-process people's democracy",this paper takes the people's assessors system as the research target,and empirically tracks the degree,organization,scope and performance of citizens'participation in justice based on judicial big data.It has found that the people's assessors system can provide a wide space for the implementation of the"whole-process people's democracy".The"whole-process people's democracy"contained in the people's assessors system can profoundly influence judicial decision-making.The vitality of"whole-process people's democracy'generated by the people's assessors system needs to be further released.For people's justice,"whole-process people's democracy"not only fits the essential requirement of"letting the people feel fairness and justice in every judicial case",but also indicates the birth of a new judicial governance technology.
