在法律与事实之间——司法裁判中事实认定过程的法理分析

理论界和实务界通常认为司法裁判的过程是"先查清事实、后适用法律。"对此论断进行反思,指出两者的统一性,并从多个层面、正反两方面论证了法律与事实的不可分离性。从法理的视角对案件的事实认定过程进行分析,并开创性地提出案件事实具体应当划分为案件的证据事实和案件的法律事实,与之相对应案件的事实认定过程实际分为证据事实认定阶段和法律事实认定阶段,此两阶段分别受程序法、证据法和实体法所规范。

Between the Laws and the Facts——A nomologic anlysis on the process of ascertaining facts in judicial adjudication

The academic circle and the practical circle usually consider the judicial adjudication as a proceess of "ascertaining facrs first,apply laws later".By giving it a second thought,this article establishes an argument of its own that the process of ascertaining facts and the process of applying laws are actually a unified process.It further demonstrates this argument from different levels and from the positive and megative aspects that the laws and facts are inseparable factors.The article makes an analysis in the fact-ascertaining process of a case from the nomologic perspective,creatively brings forth the viewpoint that the facts of a case shall be divided into evidence facts and law facts,and correspondently,the fact-ascertaining process shall be divided into two steps:the step of ascertaining evidence facts and the step of ascertaining law facts.These two steps shall be regulated by procedural laws,evidence laws and entity laws respectively.
