判例制度是英美法系的特质,有着悠长的历史和制度化实践。判例法的出现,源于经验主义哲学。在司法实践中,判例法强调法律的生命在于经验,而不是理性。在法律全球化运动蓬勃发展的今天,两大法系之间的界限早已不再那么明显,判例法及判例制度也不再是英美法系的特有标志。我国目前处于司法改革的关键时期,基于判例制度自身的价值追求以及我国目前现状,中国的司法改革可以注重对判例制度的建构和运用,以增强法律的社会功能。
The precedent system is a characteristic of Anglo-American legal system, with a long history and institutionalized practice. The emergence of case law comes from empirical philosophy. In judicial practice, case law emphasizes that the law’s life lies in experience, not in reason. At the moment when the legal globalization movement is booming, the boundaries between the two legal systems are no longer so obvious. The case law and the precedent system are no longer the peculiar symbols of Anglo-American legal system. At present, China is in the crucial period of judicial reform. Based on the value pursuit of the precedent system and the present situation in our country, China’s judicial reform can focus on the construction and application of the precedent system so as to enhance the social function of the law.
