谈谈立法技术——代前言在法学中有一个部门,不大为人注意,很少人把它当作一门学问来研究,这就是立法技术。立法技术实际上是颇为重要的。国家立法,有三个方面,或者三个步骤:第一是要决定制定一个什么样的法律,这个法律应该有什么内容,达到什么目的,完成什么任务。这是立法政策问题。第二是要如何立法,由什么机构通过什么程序立法,这就是关于立法机关与立法程序(包括法律的草拟、讨论、公布)的问题。第三是如何用最正确最恰当的文字形式来表现法律,这是关于立法技术的问题。这三个问题有密切联系,有时不可分离,但为了研究的方便,不妨这样划分。任何事物有内容和形式两个方面。立法政策涉及法律的内容,立法技术涉及法律的形式。二者有互相影响的关系。一个很好的立法政策,没有与之相配合的好的立法技术,就无法表达出来。所以研究任何法律都要注意这两方面。最普通的例子是法学家们对于法国民法 Talking about the technology of legislation - On behalf of foreword There is a department in law, not much attention, very few people think of it as a study to study, this is the legislative technology. Legislative technology is actually quite important. There are three aspects or three steps in national legislation. The first is to decide what kind of law should be enacted, what should be the law, what should be done and what should be accomplished. This is a question of legislation and policy. The second one is how to legislate and what procedures should be adopted by which agencies to legislate. This is the issue concerning the legislature and the legislative process (including the drafting, discussion and publication of laws). The third is how to present the law in the most correct and appropriate form of writing, which is a matter of legislative technology. These three issues are closely linked, sometimes inseparable, but in order to facilitate the study, may wish to be divided. Everything has both content and form. Legislation policy involves the content of law, legislative technology involves the form of law. The two have mutually influential relations. A good legislative policy can not be expressed without good legislative skills. So study any law should pay attention to these two aspects. The most common example is that jurists are concerned with French civil law
