“司法能动主义”是一个不合中国司法语境的、含义混乱的标签,不足以正确反映我国司法权在金融危机背景下所面临的现实挑战,应当用“司法权的能动性”来替代相关的论述。当下中国司法权能动性的发挥对于应对诉讼量激增的客观形势、充分利用司法资源、完善司法程序都具有积极意义。同时,司法权也必须在宪政框架内恪守其本分,遵循应有的界限。 “Judicial Activism ” is a label of confusion of meaning that is inconsistent with the judicial context of China and is not sufficient to correctly reflect the real challenges that our judicial power faces in the context of the financial crisis. We should use “the initiative of judicial power” Instead of the relevant discussion. At present, the exertion of judicial power in China is of positive significance for coping with the objective situation of the surge in litigation volume, making full use of judicial resources and improving the judicial procedure. At the same time, judicial power must abide by its own duties within the constitutional framework and follow the necessary boundaries.
