欧洲的法学家们早就力劝美国同行们考虑采纳大陆法系的模式以解决困扰美国民事审判制度的一系列严重问题。几年之后,我们的同行科茨指出:“无论是通过在对抗制的框架下进行变革,还是通过发展替代诉讼的纠纷解决方式来改革美国民事诉讼程序,大陆法系的经验都是非常值得借鉴的。” 如今,美国对民事审判改革的需求在很长时间内还并非那么迫切。而且,与以前的期限改革(Periods of reform)不同,这场改革的发起者尚无明确的目标可循。因此,也许今天的状况给美国提供了学习欧洲经验的机会,尽管他们过去没有这样做。在本文中,我们先回顾一下美国在民事审判改革过程中所做的努力,然后就美国借鉴大陆法系模式的可能性作一评估。
European jurists have long urged American colleagues to consider adopting the model of the civil law system to solve a series of serious problems plaguing the U.S. civil trial system. A few years later, Coates, our colleague, pointed out: “The civil law practice in the civil law system is well worth the experience both in the United States and in the United States through reform in the framework of adversarial justice or through the development of dispute resolution in alternative litigation For reference. ”Today, the U.S. demand for civil trial reform is not that urgent for a long time. And, unlike previous Periods of Reform, there are no clear goals for the initiator of this reform. Therefore, perhaps today’s situation offers the United States an opportunity to learn from European experience, even though they have not done so in the past. In this article, we first review the efforts made by the United States in the process of civil trial reform and then make an assessment of the possibility of the United States borrowing from the continental law system.
