案例指导制度是我国司法改革的一项重要举措,它规范了法官的自由裁量权,统一了法律适用,很大程度上保障了司法公正的实现。案例指导制度的内涵是独特的。指导性案例与立法、司法解释的区别也非常显著。当前我国案例指导制度仍存在指导性案例的机械性适用、缺乏监督机制等问题。笔者认为应当厘定指导性案例适用的基本原则,明确其效力定位。同时,健全配套设施,建立完善的监督机制以促进指导性案例制度更好的实现其功能。 The case guidance system is an important measure of judicial reform in our country. It regulates the judges’ discretion, unifies the application of law and largely guarantees the realization of judicial fairness. The connotation of case guidance system is unique. The difference between the guiding case and the legislation and judicial interpretation is also very significant. At present, there are still some problems such as the mechanical application of guidance cases and the lack of supervision mechanism in China’s case guidance system. The author believes that the basic principles applicable to the Guiding Cases should be determined and its effectiveness defined. At the same time, improve the facilities, establish a sound monitoring mechanism to promote the guiding case system to better achieve its function.
