Description

法官非得是終身職嗎?高薪資能夠讓法官更清廉嗎? 法官的判決是為了實現社會正義, 但我們要的是媚俗的法官?或者恐龍法官? 又如何評鑑並淘汰不適任的法官呢? 本書是美國著名法學家波斯納法官,深入分析法官在審理訴訟時的思考。 波斯納認為,當傳統的法律材料足以讓法官發現事實並引用既有法條時,他們會直接那麼作,那是法律推理的部分。但是在沒有判例可循的案件裡,傳統的方法不夠用了,法官就得靠自己,以經驗、情緒、潛意識的道德觀在茫茫大海裡領航。 在這個情況下,他們已經是立法者的角色了,儘管有內在和外在的限制,例如執業倫理、相關同事的意見、上級法院的審查,以及行政部門的干預。在扮演立法者的角色時,不免會有政治傾向,就此而言,大部分的美國法官都是實用主義者,總是向前看且以政策為考量,顧及判決結果的短期和長期的影響。 作者要闡述的不是法官如何思考,而是法官應該如何思考。對於正在推動法官法修訂以及法官審理品質的提升的台灣,本書的出版應該有助於司法界省思。 【名家專業推薦】 ◎台大經濟系教授 熊秉元 ◎「對法官所思所行有著全面性的觀察,所使用觀察的方法,則保持作者向來著作的一貫特徵,即是以實證的因果去解釋法官行為,其題材或方法對我們的司法環境而言,都是新穎的,值得參考,希望能誘發國內這方面的研究,讓司法改革能在實證基礎下形成真正的共識與方向,不再重蹈「漫漫長夜,反覆循環,人言言殊,東支西絀」的迷宮困境。」~台北高等行政法院法官 帥嘉寶 ◎「本書所討論的議題與理論,在我國其實有有趣的對比……名嘴們,大概都是「態度理論」與「組織理論」的信徒:將法官分為「藍色」與「綠色」,或將一頓北海漁村的餐聚解讀為「司法暗椿的閱兵大典」。陳長文律師直斥我國法官為「恐龍法官」,似乎是採「心理理論」……這些褒貶當然都是想讓我國司法更進步,但似乎都是有點「下重鹹」,故意偏執一方說重話(雖然這是進行社會改革的必要手段)。」~新竹地檢署檢察官 陳瑞仁 ◎「作者以對美國法院的觀察,誠實面對法官的侷限與守法主義的不切實際,足以提供我們更清楚而實際的視野,去看到法官的人性,以及影響法官決定的各種動機與內外限制。如此,我們也才有可能在社會不信任與司法不令人信服的守法主義論述中,穿透敷衍而膚淺的司法改革口號,看到進步與革新的曙光。」~台大法律學院教授 葉俊榮 出版社 商周出版 (城邦)
