几个月前,北京市某中级人民法院通过电视直播了一场庭审。据筹划这一举动的法院和电视台称,此举的目的在于将法律过程公开化。出乎组织者的意料,此举在学术界并没有获得预期的欢迎,因为世界上绝大多数国家,审判过程一般都不允许电视直播。事实上,法律审判的公正性只能依靠法律及其诉讼程序的完善,而不是靠一两场电视直播。 A few months ago, a Beijing Intermediate People’s Court broadcast a live trial on television. According to the courts and television stations planning this move, the move aims to open the legal process. To the surprise of the organizers, this move has not been as expected in academia as most countries in the world generally do not allow live television during the trial. In fact, the fairness of legal trials can only depend on the law and the improvement of its legal procedures, not on one or two live television shows.
