将法律类型分为实体法和程序法是我国法律的普通分类方法之一。但程序法一词,对我们来说却是舶来品。它是英国著名法学理论家边沁创造的类名词,用来表示不同于实体法的法律原则和规则的体系。它的对象不是人们的权利和义务,而是用来申明、证实或强制实现这些权利义务的手段。以往我们所称程序法,习惯于指刑事诉讼、民事诉讼以及行政诉讼等司法性程序法。而不包括其他的程序规则内 Dividing the types of law into substantive law and procedural law is one of the general methods of classification of our country’s law. But the word procedural law, for us it is imported. It is a noun created by Bentham, a famous British legal theoretician, and used to represent the system of legal principles and rules different from substantive law. Its object is not people’s rights and obligations, but means to affirm, confirm or enforce these rights and obligations. In the past, we call procedural law, accustomed to referring to criminal proceedings, civil litigation and administrative litigation and other judicial procedural law. It does not include other rules of procedure
