程序正义新释：内涵与选择

程序正义理论对于结果公正的实现具有重要意义，在英美法系国家，程序优于实体的观念一直在指导着司法实践，也得到了民众的普遍认同。程序正义的具体内涵是什么？这样的问题没有标准答案．但基本精神都应当一致：程序正义应当是属于法律程序本身的内在优秀品质，这种优秀品质应当确实存在并独立而非依附于程序的工具性之中。中国受到古代法制传统的影响，程序正义不受重视，法官更为了追求实体裁判的公正而漠视程序正义。在中国法治建设进程中，对程序正义的尊重和执行应当内化为法律人乃至所有国人的自觉行为。

New Interpretation of Procedure Justice-Connotation and Choice

The procedure justice theory is of great importance for fair realization of the result. In the UK-US legal system country, the idea of the procedure superior to the entity has been instructing judicial practices, and also been accepted by most of the people. What is the concrete connotation of procedure justice？ There is no standard answer, but the basic spirit must be consistent. The procedure justice must be intrinsic superior quality of legal proceeding, which must be there and independent. Because China was influenced by traditions of legal system in ancient times, procedure justice was not been taken seriously, the judge cared more about the fairness of the entity. In Chinese legal construction process, the respect for procedure justice should be internalized to conscious activity of legal workers and even all Chinese people.
