中文摘要:
为了促进集中审理的实现,2012年刑事诉讼法增设了庭前会议程序。从规范分析的视角可见,该程序主要处理与审判相关的程序性争议,具有证据开示、非法证据排除、争点整理、沟通说服、程序分流和调解和解等六项功能。庭前会议既为集中审理做准备,又间接过滤不当起诉,以保障人权。通过样本分析可见,某些地方的司法机关将庭前会议中的证据异议等同于法庭质证,赋予庭前会议以裁决效力,这反映出司法实务部门过度追求效率的倾向。庭前会议制度的生长,应当在程序法定原则之下,既尊重庭审的中心地位,保持庭前会议与庭审的平衡,又充分释放其功能和影响,实现效率的最大化。
英文摘要:
In order to realize concentrated trial of cases, the amended Criminal Procedure Law provides for the procedure of pretrial conference. A normative analysis of pretrial conference shows that the procedure mainly deals with trial-related procedural disputes in a way that allows the parties to disputes to seek common points while reserving their differences. Pretrial conference has six functions: discovery of evidence, exclusion of illegal evidence, organization of disputed issues, communication and persuasion, diversion of procedures, and mediation and conciliation. The purposes of pretrial conference are to prepare for concentrated trial and to indirectly filter out unfounded criminal prosecutions, so as to protect human rights. Sampling analysis reveals the tendency of excessive pursuit by local judicial organs of efficiency by equating objection to evidence in pretrial conference with cross-examination in court and by regarding pretrial conferences as part of trials. Pretrial conference is preceded by initiation and review of public prosecution and followed by court trial. It has a broad space for radiation and a powerful influence because of its connections to other criminal procedures and mechanisms such as withdrawal, jurisdiction, defense, discovery of evidence, exclusion of illegally obtained evidence, attendance of witness in court, and criminal mediation in public prosecution cases. In the construction of pretrial conference system, the government should, in conformity with the principle of procedural legality, respect the central role of court trial and strike a balance between pretrial conference and court trial while giving full play to the role of pretrial conference in maximizing judicial efficiency.
