阐释与理论:英美证据法研究传统的二元格局

  

  作为一个法治后发国家,我国的证据法和证据法学研究目前处在一个急剧变动的时期,从证据法规范层面看,诉讼构造的转型激发了我国司法实践对证据规则的需求,不仅立法机关在进行大量的实质意义上的证据立法,学者也纷纷献计献策,起草证据法的建议稿。[41]从某种意义上来看,我国证据法规范正处于一个成长和借鉴阶段,对于规范与学说的移植和研究既不可避免也很有必要。但是,由于英美证据法悠久的研究传统和庞大的理论体系,我们在借鉴和研究过程中往往忘却规范和学说所附着的英美证据法的整体背景,从而导致许多误读和不必要的争论。当代英美证据法研究背后实际上有一个很深厚的历史背景,任何一项重要的研究成果除了回应当代社会所面临的问题之外,还要回应整个理论传统所提出的问题。因此,在理解英美证据法学者的一些重要观点时,应当将之置于整个研究传统中。只有这样,才能更好地理解英美证据法研究,也才能尽可能避免使我们的证据法研究建立在错误的基础之上。

“炉边归纳”(fireside inductions)一词是由心理学家鲍尔·米尔提出,主要用来描述我们从日常经验、自我反思、逸闻证据(anecdotal evidence)以及文化上所传承的理念(culturally transmitted ideas)之中而不是从严格的、系统的研究中所获得的影响和推论。See Paul Meehl, Law and the Fireside Inductions: Some Reflections of a Clinical Psychologist, 27J.SOC. ISSUES 65,65-66(1971).
