审理案件并直接创制判例是各国最高法院履行法律统一适用职责的重要方式。而我国最高人民法院在这一方面的功能有待提升,不仅审理的案件很少成为指导性案例,对指导性案例效力的支撑也相对有限。因此,有必要通过健全最高人民法院在指导性案例生成、效力以及适用方面的功能,推动案例指导制度有效实施。 Judging cases and directly creating judicial precedents are important ways for the supreme courts of all countries to fulfill their obligations of uniform application of law. However, the functions of the Supreme People’s Court in our country need to be improved. Not only the cases under trial rarely become the guiding cases, but also the support for the effectiveness of the guiding cases is relatively limited. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the effective implementation of the case guidance system by improving the functions of the Supreme People’s Court in generating, validating and applying guiding cases.
