《送法下乡》出版十年后再版,该书针对基层司法所展示和分析的问题却并未过时。送法下乡的动机中暗含着国家权力对乡村进行渗透和改造的愿望,并非系乡村之主动要求。这导致了送下乡的法在乡村遇到规则之治与解决纠纷的矛盾,因此法在乡村不可避免要发生变异。解决此种矛盾除了需要法律的努力之外更需要乡村的环境和人的改变,这些改变功夫在法外。 After the publication of “sending the law to the countryside” ten years after its publication, the issues it presents and analyzes for grassroots justice are not outdated. The motive of sending the law to the countryside implies the desire of the state to infiltrate and reform the village, not the initiative of the village. This has led to the dispatch of rural law to meet the rules of the rule of law and the settlement of disputes, so the law inevitably in the village to mutate. In addition to the legal efforts to solve such conflicts, the rural environment and people’s changes are more needed. These changes are beyond the law.
