“让群众在每一个案件中都感受到公平正义”是司法公开的终极目标。判决书公开属于司法公开的重要一环,其质量直接影响公众对法院公正度的评价。法律修辞作为关注语言表达及说服效果的法律方法,可以为判决书的说理提供有力支持。借助法律修辞方法,法官可以使裁判的过程以“看得见”的方式呈现于当事人及公众面前,同时,判决结果的正当性和说服性也得以提升。我国当前判决书中修辞方法运用严重不足,直接消减了判决书的说服效果。法官应当关注法律修辞方法在判决书中的具体运用,将其作为提高判决书说理的一门必要技艺加以掌握。 “Let the masses feel fairness and justice in every case ” is the ultimate goal of judicial openness. The verdict is an important part of the openness of the judiciary. Its quality directly affects the public’s evaluation of the fairness of the court. Legal rhetoric, as a legal method of paying attention to language expression and persuasion effect, can provide strong support for the adjudication of judgments. With the method of legal rhetoric, judges can make the process of referees appear to the parties and the public in a “visible” manner. At the same time, the legitimacy and persuasiveness of the verdict are also improved. The use of rhetorical methods in the current judgments in our country is seriously inadequate, directly reducing the persuasive effect of the verdict. Judges should pay attention to the concrete application of legal rhetoric in judgments and grasp it as an essential skill in improving the judgment of judgments.
