摘要
20世纪90年代初确立的中国法院错案追究制在实践中是如何运行的?探索这一问题,既可以回应多年来关于错案追究制的学术争论,也有助于进一步推进司法改革。对西南地区七个法院的法律社会学调查显示,司法实践中错案追究存在五个步骤,其背后是"举重放轻"的实践逻辑,即错案标准最终从实体问责演变为程序之治。中国法院的错案追究实践虽然加剧了审级不独立,但也提升了法官的程序合法意识,并且未出现一些学者所担忧的惩罚任意性、审判委员会不堪重负、法官不独立、破坏法院和谐等负面效果。
How has China's wrongful case responsibility system worked in practice since its establishment in the early 1990s? A study on this topic not only responds to academic debates,but also promotes the judicial reform.Based on socio-legal research in seven courts in southwest China,this article describes five steps of the wrongful case responsibility system in practice and presents its logic.Its basic standard is to examine whether or not a case has any procedural mistake rather than substantive mistake.The rule of procedure in the wrongful case responsibility system has aggravated the dependence of lower-level courts on higher-level courts,but it has also improved the procedural consciousness of judges.Furthermore,the system has not displayed some negative effects that many scholars are concerned with,such as willful punishment,heavy burden on the adjudication committee,judges' lack of independence,or damage to the harmony in courts.
