【摘要】 专家辅助人制度是我国2012年刑事诉讼法修改的一项重大制度创新。2014年两起轰动案件审理中,专家辅助人参与庭审,体现了这一制度在维护司法的实体公正和程序公正方面的积极功效。由于立法仅对专家辅助人制度做出简约规定,因而在专家辅助人的主体地位、中立性、准入机制以及专家意见的证据属性等方面存在诸多理论争议。应当在吸纳理论共识和实践经验的基础上,对专家辅助人制度予以立法完善。而对专家辅助人制度的开放态度,将会有助于此领域的实践探索,有助于我们继续积累不同的实践经验。更多还原

【Abstract】 Being an important institutional innovation, the expert assistant system was clearly defined in China’s Criminal Procedure Law(2012). Positive effects in the maintenance of substantive justice and procedure justice have been achieved through the application of this system in two significant cases in 2014. Nevertheless, there are controversies of theories regarding the position, neutrality, and nature of the expert assistant’s opinions in the academic circles due to the general nature of the rule in the legislation. To perfect our expert assistant system, we need to improve the legislation on the basis of practical experience and theoretical consensus. An open attitude towards the development of the expert assistant system would facilitate the practical exploration and the accumulation of different experiences in this field.更多还原
