以審判為中心：當代中國刑事司法改革的基點

The Research on Trial-centered Model

“以審判為中心”是基於特定歷史背景和司法規律而提出的重大命題，其實質是對偵查、起訴、審判職能之間關係的反思與重構，意在建立科學合理的刑事訴訟構造。以審判為中心是就刑事公訴案件而言；強調的是訴訟職能定位，而不是機關部門地位；它並不意味著刑事訴訟全程統一實行審判標準；與庭審中心主義也存在區別。在我國推進以審判為中心需要合理界定訴訟職能並在此基礎上改革相應的訴訟制度。當然，以審判為中心的改革會對偵查、起訴、辯護工作帶來深刻影響，這些方面也要進行改革，以適應以審判為中心的要求。

Trial-centered Model is a significant proposition put forward under specific historical background and judicial rules, and its nature is to reflect and reconstruct the relation among investigation, prosecution and trial functions and to establish a scientific and sound criminal procedure structure. Being different from the court hearing-centered model, it was raised on account of publicly-prosecuted criminal cases. It emphasizes the function of procedure rather than the status of authority departments. What needs is to reasonably define the functions of litigation and reform the litigation system corresposibly to promote trial-centered model in China. In addition, the trial-centered model reform will bring profound impact on the investigation, prosecution and defense work.
