一、意图与其他法律制度同样,民事诉讼制度也在随着时代的发展而发生变化,这已经成为无可争议的事实。在世界范围内,进入90年代以来,美国在布什执政时代就已经开始着手进行民事司法改革,日本也几乎在同时期开始了对具有100年历史、古老的《民事诉讼法》进行修改,历经五载有余终得以于1996年完成。我国也在90年代初完成了新《民事诉讼法》的制定,并以新《民事诉讼法》的制定为契机,在90年代中期掀起了民事审判方式改革的热潮,迄今正沸腾不已。 I. Intentions Similar to other legal systems, the civil procedure system has also changed with the development of the times. This has become an indisputable fact. Around the world, since the 1990s, the United States has embarked on the civil justice reform during the Bush administration. Japan almost simultaneously started the revision of the 100-year old Civil Procedure Law, It was finally completed in 1996. My country also completed the formulation of the new Code of Civil Procedure in the early 1990s and took the opportunity of the new Code of Civil Procedure as the turning point. In the mid-1990s, the upsurge of reforming the civil trial style was booming and so far it was booming.
