法律事实辨析

法律事实是指在法定的程序空间内,由多方诉讼主体依据既定的规则建构起来的一幅案件事实图景,它是某种法律裁决据以作出的事实依据。法律事实是经过程序法规范过滤了的事实,是依据证据规则而剪裁出来的事实,是主体描绘出来的事实,它具有确定性和开放性的特点。司法活动的目的应该从发现事实真相转向确保法律事实形成过程的正当性与合法性。理论研究也应该由对于制度的解构或建构的研究转向针对具体的司法过程的研究,从而实现由关注静态的法律到关注法律的动态运作过程的转变。

Research on Legal Fact

It is the factual ground that some legal adjudication is made. Legal fact is standardized by the procedure rules and evidence rules, and it is described by the subjects of the lawsuit. Legal fact is definite and open. The aim of judicial actions should be ensure the legitimacy of the process of legal fact, but not find out the truth. Contents of the theory research should be judicial process, but not the system' s construction. We should pay attention to the process of the law' s operation, but not the static law.
