摘要
“找平衡”是当代我国基层法官为了实现判决案件的“案结事了”而采用的一种工作方式,即着眼于找到双方当事人都能接受的利益的“平衡点”,然后在判决书中通过相对灵活的法律适用对于“平衡点”进行符合法律形式的“再包装”。“找平衡”现象的出现缘于现阶段我国法院承担着坚持依法治国和维持社会稳定的二元使命。在“找平衡”的过程中,法官要找机会“探双方底”。在当事人各持己见、各恃说辞的情况下,法官要做到“顺败者气”。在当事人威胁社会安宁稳定时,法官要及时“压胜者势”。在具体的经验个案中,“找平衡”的审判技术往往能起到平息社会争端的良好效果,但同时,“找平衡”也存在影响法律确定性的风险。
Based on evidences collected from a trial court in Southwestern China,this paper argues that“ad hoc balancing”is a common practice adopted by district court judges to appease litigants in contentious cases.The immediate causes are a number-based grading system of judges coupled with the cultural importance of reciprocal justice.“Ad hoc balancing”consists of techniques such as“finding middle point”,“pacifying the loser”and“petrifying the winner”.“Ad hoc balancing”proves an effective tool in soothing grieved parties.However,“ad hoc balancing”also bears the risk of undermining the predictability of the law.
