调解与裁判的正义性比较分析
A Comparative Analysis about the Legitimacy of Mediation and Judgment
-
摘要: 传统观点认为调解相对于司法裁判是"次等的正义"。考察美国关于调解正当性的认识,这一传统观点被挑战和颠覆。通过司法实现正义具有明显的局限性,而调解达成合意则有可能实现更高层次的正义,真正、彻底满足民众的利益诉求。当双方力量不均衡时,如果有司法作为威慑力量,调解中处于强势的一方也会考虑弱者的利益。中国当前存在司法能力不足的现实困境,司法裁判质量不高,调解有可能更好地维护弱势当事人的实际利益。Abstract: Mediation is considered to be inferior justice compared with justice by legal litigation through traditional idea. But this idea is challenged by the ADR movement in the United States. There are obvious defaults in judicial system. Sometimes mediation can get better results and lead to a win-win situation. It is not a serious problem of power unbalance in mediation with deterrent force from judicial system. China's judicial power is rather weak and mediation can help the weak clients to avoid worse situation in judicial procedure.
