苏轼权变思想及其司法实践

苏轼在强调遵守法律、尊重法律权威的同时,在司法实践中也采取了"法外权变"的特殊手段。这种看似突破法律的行为,恰恰是苏轼对法律的社会治理效果深入思考的体现,反应了苏轼对法律的深入认识。苏轼的权变思想源于其务实致用与以民为本的思想。他希望通过"法外权变"真正解决社会问题,而非不分缓急墨守成规。对于事关民生要害的案件即便突破法律规定也要尽快解决,避免更严重的后果。苏轼的这种权变思想,对当代的法治建设有着一定的参考作用。

Su Shi's Thought of Contingency and Judicial Practice

While strictly abiding by the law and respecting the authority of the law,,Su Shi also adopted the special means of"extralegal contingency"in judicial practice.This seemingly law-breaking behavior is a reflection of Su Shi's deep thinking on the social governance effects of law,and reflects Su Shi's deep understanding of law.Su Shi's contingency thought originated from his pragmatic and people-oriented theory.He wanted to solve social problems through"extralegal contingency",rather than sticking to the old rules.Cases concerning people's livelihood should be resolved as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences.This thought of Su Shi has some reference to the contemporary construction of the rule of law.
