论司法鉴定体制改革的实践与探索

党的十六届六中全会决定中提出了构建社会主义和谐社会的任务,其中之一就是改革包括司法鉴定体制在内的司法制度。司法鉴定既是科学技术的实证活动,也是依法参与诉讼的活动,是科学性与法律性的统一。这种双重属性决定了司法鉴定的发展方向、管理制度以及管理模式。在构建和谐社会的进程中,必须完成两个转变:首先是要把各类纠纷和矛盾纳入到法治的轨道上,使政治的、经济的和社会的各种问题转化为法律问题;第二是要把法律问题与技术问题分开,运用科学技术的手段,公正、客观、有效地化解各类社会冲突和争端。如何在构建和谐社会的实践中进一步深化体制改革,完善制度规范,作者提出了若干亟需探索的问题。

The Practice and Exploration of the Reform of China''''s Expert Evaluation System

The Decision of the Sixth Session of the Sixteenth National Congress of the CPC put forward the task of building up a harmonized society. One of the tasks is to reform the judicial system, including the expert evaluation system. Expert evaluation is both an activity of scientific verification and participation in a litigation according to law. Therefore, it is the integration of law and science. This nature determines the direction of development, the system and manner of administration of the expert evaluation system. In the process of building a harmonized society, we have to complete two transformations: The first is to resolve different types of disputes and contradictions on the judicial track, to resolve political, economic and social problems through legal means. The second is to distinguish the technical issues from the legal ones and use technical means to resolve social conflicts and disputes fairly, objectively and effectively. The author raised several issues on how to further deepen the reform and improvement of the system in the process of building up a harmonized society.
