衡平与融合:法院调解的法经济学分析

Equity and Integration: A Law and Economics Perspective on Court Mediation

当前,我国社会主义法治建设趋于规范,但司法资源的相对紧缺性和纠纷解决机制多元化使得包含当事人在内的普通民众开始关注并比较法院调解和审判的经济性。从法经济学的维度,通过审视法院调解的作用与法院判决的经济性差异,对比二者的预期、调解成本及调解的触发机制,提出调整当事人预期、明晰审判成本、拓展调解辅助因素等优化调解的措施,以期从法经济学的角度引导法院进行科学调解。

Currently,China’s socialist rule of law construction is becoming increasingly standardized,but the relative scarcity of judicial resources and the diversification of dispute resolution mechanisms have led ordinary people,including parties,to pay attention to and compare the economic benefits of court mediation and trial.From the perspective of law and economics,by examining the economic differences between the role of court mediation and court judgments,comparing their expectations,mediation costs,and mediation triggering mechanisms,we propose measures to optimize mediation by adjusting the expectations of parties,clarifying trial costs,and expanding mediation auxiliary factors.From the perspective of law and economics,we guide courts to conduct scientific mediation.
