摘要
法律的产生曾经依赖司法判决完成,有了判决,才有了司法文明和法治文明的萌芽。司法判决也成为考察历代法律制度和现象的重要考据。在英美法系国家,作为先例的判决成为法律渊源。大陆法系国家,在先的判决和判例也发挥着越来越重要的作用。法官通过判决向具体的人阐述法律上的价值判断,判决由此成为使文本中的法律成为活的法律的手段。由于司法判决把法律带到了人们的生活中,于是人们政治生活、社会生活和个人生活都被司法判决塑造于无形。司法判决还可部分地弥补法治自身的不足,柔化法治的刚性,遏制法治社会中的过于保守和激进,减少法治社会中的非理性因素,缓和法律对社会的过度控制。在中国司法改革的大背景下,应充分认识司法判决的价值和功能,形成真正重视判决的社会氛围。
Production of the law once relied on the judicial decisions,and then there was sprout of judicial civilization and the civilization of rule of law owing to judgments. For this reason,judgments have become important textual resources by which to observe and study legal insititutions and phenomena of the past. Judgments,as precedents,have proved to be source of law in Anglo-American legal system. The prevenient judgments and judicial precedents are also playing more and more important roles in continental legal system. The judges elaborate legal valuations to people by judgments,and then judgments have turned into instruments from law in paper to law in practice. Just because judgments bring law into everyday life,the society,politics and individual life,have been intangibly shaped by judgments. Judgments can also partly remedy the defects of rule of law,soften the rigidity of rule of law,restrain the excessive fogyism and radicalness in the society with rule of law,reduce irrational factors in the society with rule of law,and assuage law ＇s excessive controls on the society. Under the background of Chinese judicial reform, we should fully comprehend judgments ＇ values and functions in order to foster social atmosphere where judgments are really taken seriously.
