我国法院调解制度有着其优良的传统,在其过去的发展过程中起着定纷止争、宣传教育、社会引导等作用,帮助实现社会公正、社会和谐、文化传承等价值。在社会转型期,研究法院调解理论在完善制度构架以及制约审判权力的同时,也应从社会宏观治理角度来分析其积极意义。 The court mediation system in our country has its fine tradition. It played the role of deciding whether to stop disputes, propaganda and education, or social guidance during its past development and helped to realize such values ​​as social justice, social harmony and cultural inheritance. In the period of social transformation, the research on the theory of court mediation should improve the institutional framework and restrict the power of adjudication. At the same time, it should analyze its positive significance from the perspective of social macroscopical governance.
