中国传统司法办案质效的表达与实践

The Expression and Practice of Quality and Efficiency in Traditional Chinese Judicial Case Handling

  • 摘要: 司法办案质效是一个伴生于法律的永恒命题,不仅直接关乎法律功能的实现与价值的彰显,还能在与法律的正向互动中促进法律自身的完善与发展。在中国的法制传统中,古人一直致力于提高司法办案质效,无论是在立法表达上还是在司法实践中,均作出了诸多有益的探索。在实体方面,强调要在“务得确情”的基础上做到“情罪相符”;在效率方面,积极“弊除讼累”,不仅严令防止“淹禁”,同时还根据刑罚轻重对案件进行分类处理;在效果方面,坚持以“天理、国法、人情”的统一为评价标准,并以之为价值追求构建相应的制度促进法律的自我完善与修复。当代法治建设应当充分反思历史经验,借鉴中华优秀传统法律文化,坚持“以人民为中心”的现代中国常识理性为指引,努力构建新时代中国特色的正义与法律体系。

     

    Abstract: The quality and efficiency of judicial case handling constitute an eternal proposition inherent to legal systems. They not only directly determine the realization of legal functions and the manifestation of legal values, but also promote the self-improvement and development of law through positive interactions with legal practice. In China's legal tradition, ancient jurists consistently sought to enhance judicial quality and efficiency, undertaking numerous beneficial explorations through both legislative formulations and judicial practices: In substantive justice, they emphasized "ascertaining factual truth" as the foundation for achieving "alignment between circumstances and culpability"; Regarding procedural efficiency, they actively "eliminated litigious burdens" by strictly prohibiting "prolonged detention" while implementing differentiated case management based on the severity of offenses; In evaluating outcomes, they upheld the trinity of "Heavenly Principles(Tianli), National Law(Guofa), and Human Sentiments(Renqing)" as the supreme criterion, constructing institutional mechanisms to facilitate legal self-perfection and self-correction guided by this value system.Therefore, contemporary rule-of-law construction should thoroughly reflect on historical wisdom, assimilate the essence of China's outstanding legal heritage, and adhere to people-centered modern Chinese commonsense rationality. This approach will advance the establishment of a new-era justice system and legal framework with distinctive Chinese characteristics.
