轻罪治理背景下协商性辩护机制的完善路径

The Improving Path of Consultative Defense Mechanism Under the Background of Misdemeanor Governance

随着轻罪治理体系在我国逐步构建,为保障被追诉人的正当权益,应当构建协商性辩护机制。协商性辩护机制具有优化司法资源配置、提升司法质效、实现社会效果与法律效果相统一的重要价值。但在运行中,却呈现出辩护进程追诉机关主导、“辩护”形式化的现状,为化解适用规则阙如、程序设计原则、信息掌握不平衡的运行阻碍,应探求通过提升协商性辩护质效、健全协商性辩护程序规则、完善协商性辩护细则、建立控辩双方的证据开示制度等路径,完善轻罪治理背景下的协商性辩护机制,丰富轻罪治理的中国实践。

With the gradual construction of a misdemeanor governance system in China,a consultative defense mechanism should be established to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the accused.The consultative defense mechanism has important value in optimizing the allocation of judicial resources,improving judicial quality and efficiency,and achieving the unity of social and legal effects.However,in operation,there is a current situation where the defense process is led by the prosecution agency and the“defense”is formalized.In order to resolve the operational obstacles of the lack of applicable rules,program design principles,and imbalanced information acquisition,we should explore ways to improve the quality and efficiency of consultative defense,improve the procedural rules of consultative defense,improve the detailed rules of consultative defense,and establish a system for evidence disclosure between the prosecution and defense parties,in order to improve the consultative defense mechanism in the context of misdemeanor governance,and enrich China’s practice of misdemeanor governance.
