对何为司法以及司法为何可有不同回答,但以下四个方面却不应遗漏:实现正义是司法的价值追求;在消极性与积极性的张力之间保持客观中立是司法的角色定位;充分的说理和论证的义务是司法在技术层面的要求;司法权力运作的合理性和正当性则涉及司法的权威。这四个方面应为现代司法题中应有之义,缺乏其中任一要素,都是有缺憾的,都可能成为司法改革的动因。 However, the following four aspects should not be overlooked: the realization of justice is the value pursuit of justice; the objective neutrality of maintaining the tension between negativity and positivity is the role of the judiciary; the sufficient The obligation of reasoning and argumentation is the judicial requirement of the technical level. The rationality and legitimacy of the judicial power operation involve the authority of the judiciary. These four aspects should be the proper meaning of modern judicial issues. The lack of any one of them is regrettable and may all be the motivation for judicial reform.
