刑事诉讼庭前会议制度研究

Study on the System of Pre-Court Meetings in Criminal Proceedings

摘要: 庭前会议制度对于确保法庭集中持续审理起到了重要作用。但庭前会议制度运行过程中仍然存在着一些问题，如庭前会议过于正式化，增大了各方的诉讼成本，庭前会议的法律效力仍待进一步确定，有被虚置或流于形式的危险，庭前会议的不公开不利于司法公开原则的贯彻落实等，影响了此项制度的功能发挥。对此，应当对庭前会议制度进一步规范，如完善庭前会议之前的准备活动、启动机制、实施机制、范围、效力、证据展示机制等。

Abstract: The pre-trial meeting system plays an important role in the court's centralized and continuous trial. However, there are still some problems in the operation of the pre-trial meeting system. For example, the pre-trial meeting is too formalized, which increases the litigation costs of all parties; the legal effect of the pre-trial meeting remains to be further determined, which is in danger of being placed in a virtual or mere formality; and the non publicity of the pre-trial meeting is not conducive to the implementation of the principle of judicial openness, which affects the function of the system. In this regard, we should further standardize the system of pre-trial meeting, such as improving the preparatory activities, starting mechanism, implementation mechanism, scope, ef-fectiveness, evidence display mechanism, etc.
