庭前会议制度的实施难题与解决方案

2013年《刑事诉讼法》第182条第2款和最高法院的《解释》规定了庭前会议制度的主要内容,但尚有一些欠缺之处。在司法实践中,庭前会议应当由庭审人员主持,控辩双方同时参与。启动方式以法官主动决定为主、依申请决定为辅。解决的问题应当包括明确争点和整理证据。审判人员对于程序问题应当在会议结束后开庭前作出决定,该决定原则上具有效力。对于涉及实体的问题则不得作出任何决定,也不会产生任何效力。

The Judicial Application Issues and Solution of Criminal Pretrial Conference

The pretrial conference system has been stipulated in Article 182,paragraph 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure（2012） and the judicial interpretation of the provisions of the Supreme Court.However,there are a number of gaps.In judicial practice,the pretrial conference shall be presided over by the trial staff,and the prosecution and defense participate at the same time.The start of the conference is mainly decided by a judge＇s decision and supplemented by an application.The conference should make a clear point of contention and collate evidences.The trial staff should make a decision on those procedural issues after the conference and before the trail.The decision has effectiveness in principle.For the substantial issues,they should not make any decision and if they do,the decision should not have any effectiveness.
