创建一个民主、法制的社会环境是构建和谐社会的必要条件之一。如何构建民主、法制的社会环境.吉尔莫的经典叙述告诉我们对于纠纷的解决依赖于一系列多元化的纠纷解决机制。我们通过从传统法律现实主义到新法律现实主义的历史演变的描述,以及对二者思想的分析对比,可以总结归纳出一些现代法治国家可以借鉴的思想和方法。对于发展中的中国来说,也许这些方法有助于确定和保证达到法治和社会和谐的较佳程度。

The Evolvement of Legal Realism and Its Meaning to Chinas Rule of Law——Promotion of Diverse Mechanisms for Dispute Resolution

Creation of a democratic and legal social environment is one of the requirements of forming a harmonic society.Grant Gilmore's classic reasoning tells us that the resolution to legal disputes lies in a series of diverse resolution mechanisms rather than exhaustive laws.This article describes the historical evolvement from traditional legal realism to new legal realism,compares and contrasts the thoughts of these two,and summarizes a few thoughts and methods to which legal states can refer,such as the research on "law in action","bottom-up" observation and investigation etc.While the author doesn't accept and absorb the thoughts and methods of new legal realism completely,such thoughts and methods may determine and ensure a better legal and social harmony for China,which is still in the developing stage.Finally,the author illustrates the development and progress of "diverse dispute resolution" in China by quoting the evolving history of mediation.
