唐代司法审判中的勾检程序:设置、运行与价值

The Supervision Procedure in Tang Dynasty:Its Formulation,Operation and Significance

勾检程序是唐代行政、财政、军事和司法体制中一项重要的法律文书核验制度。具体到唐代司法审判活动,勾检程序是内嵌于其中的审核监督程序,立案、勘验、审理、判决、执行以及奏报等环节,都离不开勾检官对法律文书的核验。唐代司法审判中勾检程序的设置与运行,有效避免了冤假错案的发生,有利于提高司法官员的责任心,有利于维护司法审判的公正性,有利于提升诉讼活动的质量与效率,对司法官员滥用职权也能起到有效的制约作用。

The supervision procedure played a crucial role in verifying the legal instruments used in the administrative,financial,military,and judicial systems of the Tang Dynasty.Various stages of litigation and trial,such as filing,inquisition,trial,judgment,execution,and case file reporting,relied heavily on the verification of legal instruments.This procedure served as a comprehensive system for verification and supervision,intricately embedded within the litigation and trial processes of the Tang Dynasty.Its implementation effectively prevented unjust and erroneous cases,enhanced the accountability of judicial officials,upheld judicial justice,and served as an essential mechanism to curtail the abuse of power by those in the judiciary.
